@elliott someone on zoom sat in front of a window and the sky was #751680

first syllabus-making sesh was very rewarding. studiomates @kirsten and @emmav joined too. the research group idea quickly escalates, both in content (topics, theories) and format (resource sharing, publishing). I do like things that want to shape-shift into other formats, band-style, music to video to costume to album art. the consequence & perks of opening up? scary but exciting

4 days teaching makes me feel student-style tired. young?
12/2/25
feeling so fluid. too fluid? not yet.
11/2/25
does this turn into a date?
this sounds a bit ambiguous but I think @elliott knows what I mean
[edit: he does]
