Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh, meara.I hate dreams like that (not that I have had dreams much like that, but the ones where you wake up full of nasty emotions)

I have a thing I didn't finish yesterday and I am never going to get to it because all this new crap for today keeps coming at me. Including three conference calls. Bah.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had a really bizarre dream where three of my neighbors (imaginary neighbors - I have no idea who these people were) rang my doorbell at some ungodly hour to tell me they were all moving out of town. None of them were wearing masks and one of them hugged me without being asked, and then I ran inside and washed my face.

Gosh!

Man, horror movies are gonna get weird, huh? Once people are making movies again.

I've already heard of at least one shot-entirely-in-Zoom horror movie

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Objectively, I know this is Tuesday, but I don't think I believe it.

Yeah, no, that can't be right.

I'm not sure I believe in time anymore.

I wish I could believe it wasn't Tuesday, but Tuesday has come to encompass my entire universe. It has always been Tuesday, and will always be Tuesday. Stuff is happening? Must be Tuesday.

"Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so" has come to have new meaning for me since WFH

So things have been resolved around my journalism classes — thank you so much for letting me vent last week (was it last week? I'm with Gud in being unsure about time). Venting here prevented me from sending what would have been an unfortunate email. It seems to have come down to a new administrator not really understanding the big picture. She and I talked, and she now gets it and is supporting me to teach normally. Phew.
