Argh. So I tried teaching the class online, using my iPad. When I tried sharing my iPad screen over Zoom, it would share whatever the screen looked like at the moment I started sharing it, but then that image was static -- it didn't change when I changed stuff on the iPad. I spent like ten minutes in front of the camera trying to troubleshoot it, and eventually just gave up -- there was no way to teach the lesson I was supposed to do today without being able to write stuff, and it would be a disservice to their learning to try to do it anyway. So, ended the class after about fifteen minutes, and I guess I'll just be a day behind until I can catch up somehow.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, Hil, what a day! I'm sorry.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
there are just days like that. "Wow, that was worth it. Not." I have writing workshop again tonight. Very strange story from a pro to start. Like "While You Were Sleeping" sort of, but in a mental hospital.
