I'm geriatric and stupid. That's what graduate school does to a person, I highly recommend you never do it. Cassie, I was spinning lies before you could hold your own head up. This just happens to have not been a lie, I had no intention of going until the last minute. And if I hadn't, I'd have missed out on your costume choice which was... you know, definitely a choice. Was that tracksuit SueperStar branded or a knock off?

You are geriatric because you didn't even know Halloween was on a Thursday, not a Wednesday. And you're a big fat liar, because you were at the party, so now which one of us tells lies??

SAGE SYLVESTER.

I can do a one card or three card drawing for you. You're welcome to take what resonates or leave what doesn't.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

Let's do three.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

You got it. Think of a topic, or a question, or something you'd want the deck to focus on while I shuffle it.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

Alright, got it.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

[Sage's eyes widen as the cards flip out.] There's something you're not telling me, clearly. These three are incredibly powerful together, signaling the start of a new and most likely unexpected phase of your life. Having the World and Death together highlights a significant transformation that seems long overdue. The Wheel of Fortune adds in the aspect of destiny, and a part of your life path. You need to trust the process, close the doors that need to be closed, and know that whatever is shifting right now is bringing you closer to your next chapter.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

[Mathieu looks between the cards and Sage, wondering why he never thought to ask them for a reading sooner. He sits up straighter in his seat] That sounds like the universe is asking me to have an awful lot of faith in it.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

Yeah, and isn't that annoying as hell?

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

Oh my god, it's awful.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

I'm so sorry. It's such a little bitch sometimes.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

Oh it’s not your fault. You’re just the… what’s the word, conduit?

SAGE SYLVESTER.

Something like that.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

You're good at it. I think. I'll have to see how this whole "trusting the universe" thing plays out and then let you know for sure.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

Did it resonate?

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

[Mathieu frowns but then nods] Maybe. Again, I’ll have to get back when I know for sure. Hold me to that, since the universe also thinks I’m not telling you something.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

I'm curious.

MATHIEU SCHUESTER.

Me too. Can’t wait to figure that one out. Thanks, Sage.

SAGE SYLVESTER.

Yeah, of course.

[mathieuschue]

can i get uhhhhh a brain that actually likes me

[mathieuschue]

Okay well that's a lie right there, but I'll let it slide because you're not going to fess up to anything else. Cassie, I'm geriatric and Halloween is on a Thursday and a school night. My ideal scenario is being in bed by 9:15. Have twice as much fun for me, but also be responsible. So... maybe don't have twice as much fun, I take that back.

Nope! That would make me a liar, and you know I don't tell lies. What are you gonna wear for Halloween? Did you see there's a party at The Spare Room??

[mathieuschue]

And that's how I know you're biased. Nobody likes hearing someone talk about statistics. I've spent a lot of time listening to people talk about statistics and its as exciting as watching paint dry. You should find a better use of your time.

I love when you talk statistics, even though I don't understand them at all.

[mathieuschue]

MATHIEU: I have a class that'll be done by 3:15 tomorrow. Can we meet up then? Your choice of location. MATHIEU: I want to continue this conversation, it's important to me. But I'm also not comfortable doing it over text.

EMMY: I finish teaching at 2:37pm both days.

[mathieuschue]

[...] MATHIEU: When are you free tomorrow? Or Tuesday?

EMMY: I'm embarrassed that you saw me in a moment of vulnerability and now I'm pushing you and everyone else away because I don't believe I deserve to have people supporting me.

[mathieuschue]

@daisyclarington: Of course you deserve love.

You're biased and skewing the curve.

[mathieuschue]

How many times have you been in love?

Once, which is probably one time more than what I deserved but I guess it can't be helped. @gabewildepsu

My method was letting my older sister take me out on my 21st birthday, having her pick something and then defaulting to that for the next ten years of my life. I don't drink much though so I haven't had a chance to get bored yet. Your best option is to try a little of everything until something sticks.

Okay, so how do people come up with their favorite drink? Like, you start off drinking, right? And then all of a sudden you've got your drink. How do you get there? What does a drink have to have for someone to be like, wow, this is the one for me? In other news, I'm taking recommendations for fun drinks to try.

[mathieuschue]

I'm going entirely off of context clues here, please tell me what I get wrong. Anthropology is something I have a hard time wrapping my head around, but from what I can figure its a cross-section between sociology and archeology. I'm guessing the forensic part means that it's using anthropology in a legal setting? At least that's what it means in psychology - forensic psych is the application of psychology for legal purposes. Plus you explicitly talked about bones here so... best guess, it's using anthropological methods and knowledge to help with criminal issues related to bones, which probably means it has a focus on cause of death too. Am I in the right ballpark?

Hello everyone. I was thinking about maybe having an Introduction to Forensic Anthropology seminar, and was wondering if anyone would be interested. You don't have to want to study it, just have an interest to learn about bones for at least an hour. If you are not interested, I am curious - what do you think forensic anthropology is? I imagine there will be people who have no prior knowledge, so I am trying to be prepared on what information I should be gathering for those people, specifically.

Oh, and I don't think I need to introduce myself. If you can read my name is right there in the upper left corner of this post. Thanks.

[mathieuschue]

No clue if this’ll be of any interest to you – tell me to shut up if needed – but I’m working on an assignment about the comorbidities of narcolepsy with anxiety and mood disorders. If you want, I can send you some of the articles I’ve found, in case it’s ever relevant to your show. @zachwilde

[mathieuschue]

Hey, did you happen to leave a key ring behind after the shelter in place order was lifted? I just threw everything that I thought was mine in a bag and left, but now I’m realizing this isn’t mine. I’m pretty sure they were near the bar when we were chatting. @dannyssylvester

You’re probably right, but maybe you lucked out in that department. A family reality show really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. My dad’s still surprised your mom didn’t try to make her own though.

private

Why do the Kardashians have a reality show when my family exists? We are far more entertaining.

[mathieuschue]

MATHIEU: Maybe, but I feel like we've got another week of her being caught up in everything before she starts with the threats of dismemberment. Take advantage of it while you can. MATHIEU: Do you need anything? [...] MATHIEU: Other than the ground to stay in place.

SIMONE: I feel like you're really underestimating her abilities with a knife. SIMONE: I think so. Things feel more back to normal now.

If we don't, then we'll have to hear about the grand 9-minute duet dad and Shelby Corcoran try to coordinate all the way up until the big day. We're doing ourselves a favor by stopping it before it even starts.

— private.

Mom probably knows, I don't know why I didn't just ask her. The two of them together could be trouble, we should probably take it upon ourselves to do our best to reign them in, don't you think?

[mathieuschue]

MATHIEU: That'll make it pretty hard for the people who want to interact with you, you know.

EMMY: It is. EMMY: I don't think I should be allowed to interact with other humans, really.
