At Costco… Me: “Are you going to tell people you want to go to Harvard when you get older?” 13yo: “I go to Harvard now.” Me: “Oh, so you think they’ll believe you’re home for the summer?” 13yo: “I am. Because I DO go to Harvard.” Me: 🤦‍♀️ 13yo: “And I’m 21.”

Shoutout to my husband for also loving my favorite Star Wars film when we were dating, but now — 25 years later — having the courage/stability in our relationship to respectfully disagree. 😂

@alioop326 Roasted potatoes! I use Yukon Gold potatoes because they have a milder flavor than something like a russet.

@Swilua Laura Ashley is the most underrated designer of fae-adjacent fashion. Well done! The birdcage sounds like perfection. 🦜

My Catholic friend just described end-of-semester grading as Purgatory. Friends, this means I am officially in the gravy basket.

@1goodtern I represent adjunct faculty in my college’s shared governance system, and I’m going to keep wearing my fancy respirator to every in-person meeting to remind our leadership that adjuncts don’t receive employer sponsored health insurance. 😷

If you're still wearing a respirator to avoid catching and spreading covid, I want to follow you - if I'm not already, reply and I'll hit that button. ❤️👇

My thoughts… 1) Samba’s chaotic Puck is perfect. 2) Caliban did not rape Miranda. Prospero is an evil colonizer. I have and will continue to die on this hill. 3) Iago is the perfect villain for Samba. 4) Another original poem! With a “ho” joke! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

New Samba Schutte Cameo, once again from the Bardflies! This is what happens when Shakespeare crosses paths with Our Flag Means Death. Dropping the link here before even watching it… v.cameo.com/e/SQpL8KosZIb

@FunnyLaughter1 In related news, my college is starting a therapy group for faculty. My first thought: more meetings will add to our stress! *sending hugs, if you consent*

@AspirantAbby42 Fine with me! I assume Samba would be fine as well because the Cameo was listed as “public.” Please note that the Cameo was crowdfunded by a group called the Bardflies. Thanks!

@AmberElby Hey Amber, is it okay to put this in the recap tonight? totally okay if not! just wanted to check :) This is lovely, thank you for sharing it

SAMBA SCHUTTE IS A HUMAN OF INFINITE TALENTS! He has played Puck and Caliban and Macduff and was even in Lysistrata!!! Check out this AMAZING Cameo that he made for our crew of Shakespeare and OFMD fans!!! It even has an original OFMD SONNET!!! 😭😭😭 cameo.com/recipient/6617…

@LisaHafey Yes, and so is Samba… cameo.com/recipient/6617…

@FunnyLaughter1 Does your college have a shared governance program that can call out the bullsh*t on your behalf while keeping you anonymous? (Asking as the President of a branch of my college’s shared governance.)

@squishable E and Q!

We've been experimenting with a little side line with more of a tube shape, short fur, kind of half Squishable and half body pillow. We want to prototype a couple, but we don't know WHICH ONES! What are your top 3 designs out of this collection? 👁👁 ex) i'm into A, L, and N! 🥰

@linuama @pan_od_tortur My 15yo assures me that fandoms never end, even after shows end. My kid is a massive fan of several completed series and has more experience with this than I do, so I expect to be here for the long haul.
