Sociologist at SFU, writing an intro applied stats book that challenges the authority of numbers much less p-values; cocktail nerd; reader of feminist romance novels. Wanting good vocab for ADHD as a type of person, not an illness.
Agreed: at the least.
People keep asking me what I think of being a professor in Canada instead of the US right now, and when I say that in the US I don’t think I could offer my next term’s classes, or teach relevant research findings in Intro, they treat my response as a joke. It’s not.

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

As an extra, the vision of education held by the relevant regent, a former commercial litigant: “Curriculum is created and approved based on the accepted body of knowledge needed for our students to be successful in their chosen profession…It is unacceptable for other material to be taught instead.”

And it was only after I pressed “reply” that I (re-?)discovered that Harold & Maude was released in 1971. Now feeling justified in my sense of cultural periods

Awareness of Heather & Maude seems like the part of the 80’s that was hanging on to the part of the 70’s that was hanging on to the 60’s™ (= the part of the 60’s that was actually the very late 60’s to the early 70’s). It was there, but it wasn’t the 1980’s of Heathers and War Games.
