Having a dog can be extremely overstimulating when you’re neurodivergent, it turns out

Went for a 45-minute walk and it did NOT make me feel any better, which is weirdly vindicating.

next year I’d like to hear less “you’re so resilient” and more “you just got *more* good news?”

I don’t like it when the jobs send a rejection email within the first 24 hours. Hurts my feefees.

how can I shut down diet talk at work?
A reader writes: I work in a 15-person team within a larger organization. We have a hybrid work scheme, with mandatory in-office Mondays and at least one other day on-site per week.

My biggest regret in life is becoming a journalist. The sacrifices I made didn’t even come close to being worth it.

And hey, maybe that’s just because I, individually, am a loser and a flop. That’s OK! I still want all those holidays and weddings and baby showers I missed back.

Since I was laid off, I have seen so many other layoffs, and heard directly from friends and other people I know about their layoffs. So many people will pivot to other careers besides journalism. They repeatedly sacrificed time with family and friends, their health, and sleep. It didn't matter.

every time i read about one of these college presidents promising to reinvent the liberal arts education i think of "marge v. the monorail"

Yes we all agree that this is the reason colleges are in trouble
She knows that many people disagree, that they see the value of liberal arts as less about job preparation and more about teaching students how to think. It's a nice sentiment on some level, she says, but it's also hopelessly naive. More to the point, she argues, it's exactly the reason many colleges are in trouble: Faculty grew too powerful and too romantic about their role in society. Students are her customers, she says, and at colleges like Albright they no longer major in Latin American studies or even economics. If they want an Al major, her responsibility is to give them one.

Your education is just about the only thing in the world that can never be taken from you. Students owe it to themselves to learn something about the world around them, not just job skills.

This is the logic a lot of people are sold when they’re the first people in their family to go to college; meanwhile, all the kids who come from money are in an esoteric program where they get to eat dinner with their professors and whatnot.

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

I think there are a lot of people in Denver who’ve owned their home for 10 or 20 years and really don’t understand how expensive it is to live here if you’re renting.
