Labour Day for teachers is.the day before an alien invasion. I re-watched Independence Day to get into the appropriate headspace. “We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on! We will survive!”.

Love when I can get into a conversation about the "lameness of the tortured artist trope" with a student who's a huge fan of Nirvana and Sylvia Plath.

Odd solicitation, but is there anyone in the Van City area that’s a Sarah Harmer fan!? I’ve got an extra ticket for Thursday’s show at the Vogue!.

Re-reading gender theory/studies (Beauvoir, hooks, Butler) to work into my course as my class is angry that I only teach white, Christian, Western European philosophers. If anyone knows any female philosophy during the medieval and early-modern eras, I'm all ears.
