(I did not because there is a power imbalance in that work relationship) ((I love y’all so very much and I just finished my first book of 2026 - a thing I’m both proud and not proud to say - on Reconstruction Amendments and so it’s a little fresh. I’ve got a collection of books on my to read list))

Hi need to yell into the void real quick: Had a non-southerner (I’m in PA) talk out the side of their mouth about how a certain Southern pseduo-triangular state should “act more purple” and I was this close to talking about Jim Crow and the courts refusal to actually enforce the 15th amendment.

I am not sure if he is but we do talk a few times a week

I love you all dearly.

I am under no delusions that my alma mater won’t do this, in fact I suspect they will. I just…. yeah I don’t know. Just horrible all around. Ok I’m back away for awhile. Doing well - replacing my online time with reading about Reconstruction Amendments and Substantive due process (separately).

I am breaking my online fast to plead with whatever higher power I need to, please don’t put the interim title on Briles. It’s horrible enough we are tied with the Briles family but don’t legitimize them further.

I'm logging off. Deleting the app. Love you all so very much.

Happy Saturday everyone, Go Cocks. I’ve been trying to do a one foot in, one foot out here but I have decided it’s best for me to leave for a long time. I’m going to leave the account open but i won’t be on here. I am ok. My family is ok. I will always be happy with a text, no obligation.

Also I'm in a fucking Major incident at 4:30 on a Friday on my day off (I'm on call, it's my responsibility but still I took a day off because I was feeling that burnout heating up)

Hi I just need to yell into the void for a second: Niko’s heart murmor, which we knew about, went from “nothing to worry about” to “he needs an EKG” and we already watched Oscar slowly fade away the last two years from a heart murmor, is it to much to ask for more than two years

Put his hands on his side and run around the rest of the game looking like a penguin running. He listened. Very literally. He gets it honest.

A little Hoss story before I go. Last week Hoss (and to be fair lots of kids, he was not the first) used his hands to try to grab and push around other kids while playing. He came off for a water break and we told him, “Hey hands off people. Keep them by your side” And if this kid didn’t

Everyone is fine and safe and healthy. I am not in a place to come back yet, still processing some things and figuring out how to make this all work. Since I won’t be back this weekend, Go Cocks (lol we are going to the Zoo), and Go Cal and whoever ohio state is playing.

I just needed to come here and say I love you all. So very very much.

The efficient solution would have been a shell script. I wanted to see if I could do it. I don’t think I’ve written one since.

To balance this out we did also have the following exchange: “Oh that’s a reference to Dexters Laboratory” “What’s that” “Oh just an old cartoon” **weeping internally **

The youth are eager to learn Bash and Unix CLI commands. The kids are alright. (Also thank you Tom, the Unix god who taught me a lot of what I know. And who one time eight years ago looked at an AWK command I had written and said “That’s really good” and I’m still beaming today).

Oh hi Emily Gillmore.

Assuming we let Shane ride out the season, Spurrier will return to his rightful place as the sole owner of a winning record at Carolina since I’ve been born. Lol. ROFL, even. Ok I gotta go for real this time, love you mean it bye.

Ok one last one I'm putting it into the universe. LSU 24 unanswered 4th quarter points to win by 3 is the funniest outcome.
