Fun with migraines: in the past year or so I’ve started having vertigo in the prodrome stage, tilting involuntarily when I walk. In the past couple of months I’ve developed olfactory hallucinations. I don’t like migraines, y’all.
🍿 Watched Airplane!.
Super fun. I can’t begin to imagine how delightful it must have been for the people who saw it when it was first released.

I love this turn of phrase.
We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn’t run by profiteering gluttons…

🔖 Read True/useful by Seth Godin.
Seth shares a handy matrix for helping us stay resilient and cultivate belief, shaking off cynicism and avoiding traps.
📺🍿🎄 Watched The Naughty Nine.
This is a heist movie about kids on the naughty list breaking into Santa’s workshop. It honors all the heist tropes and is super fun. Watch with a kid if you can.
A list of lists: in his book Keep Going, Austin Kleon writes about a variety of types of lists you might keep and I made a list of them:
- to-do
- to-make (he says to-draw)
- to-learn
- Someday/Maybe
- to-not-do
- pro/con
- thanks for/help me
- end-of-year
- commandments
New bio on most of my profiles: Mom & PhD with a librarian’s heart and an academic’s mind. I manage multiple chronic illnesses and I love books and games. 🌈♿
📓 I know Twitter is all the things we all know it is now but I still love that some scholars wrote a journal article about the relationship between emojis and identity in Twitter bios.
📺🍿🎄 Watched Reporting for Christmas.
I really like this one. A hard-hitting Chicago reporter heads to a small town in Iowa to cover the 40th anniversary of the local toy company’s most popular product. Life changes ensue.
Super cute, winning cast.
