The Fora: A Higher Education Community

Vent:  Everything hurts. And I got my first sunburn in several years (forgot that I probably still have Keflex in my system, which partly accounts for it). I'm a crispy critter.

Inhale:  The yard and gardens look really nice.

'cuz of course anything written by a non white is inherently hateful.....

I thought I couldn't be shocked by any banning, but this stunned me. And, yes I know it was just removed from the K-5 holdings and remains in the middle school section. Read it. There is not one word that can be construed as "hate", and it is clearly unrelated to CRT.

I have a female tanager hanging around.  She'll peck at the suet (very clumsily...) but doesn't really seem comfortable at the feeder yet.  I obviously need to expand my offerings, but to what?

1/2 days for students in elementary through high school just suck. Once you drop them off, you can't even get through your fourth beer before you have to go pick them up again. [Insert angry poop emoji]

Switch to shots.

Great minds...! (?)

Good morning!

Got the pangram and a bit past genius.  Yesterday, after getting to genius with all the pangrams, I apparently forgot how long the puzzle was, didn't get back to it, and had a ton of words left when we got to our brief evening puzzling time.  Oops.  We still almost had team QB but needed bee buddy for iambi.  Thanks for the heads up about the link to previous bee, Langue_doc.  Is that just on the app? I will take a look later.  I don't see it on the web interface right now but might not be looking in the right place.

For LB, I had windsails-sporty.  Congrats, ciao_yall, and on another today!

Langue_doc, if you are referring to the what have you read thread, I do listen to a lot of books (and podcasts), but I do not really try to absorb them extensively or think too critically about them.  You do much deeper reading than I do! And I can listen while doing other things.  I definitely could not sit and read that many books in that time period.  But thank you!

Happy solving!
