“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability

If you have a PhD or an MD you can say shit like “Doctor’s orders” and you sound authoritative and powerful but if you’re a step short of those and you say “Master’s orders” you sound cringe as hell and possibly corrupted by the One Ring, this sucks

Day 4+5

Been a rough two days for productivity. I really struggled on day 4 with getting my reading done and suffering for it now.

Day 5

Read half of chapter

Submitted Q&A (2)

Obstacles I've noticed :

I don't work well with mess. But whenever I cook there's mess. I need to do the meal prep I've been putting off and plan meals and freeze them so all I have to do is reheat.

I am exhausted from the demands of this program and have been staying up super kate. I need to decide if it's better to wake up super early or stay up super late. Normally I'm a night owl but I'm pushing 30 (in a few days :D) so maybe the all nivhters are not for me anymore.

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

"an argument that, according to [other researcher], asks the evidence to carry more weight than it can bear" is my new favourite academic insult

22 Days of Productivity

So for the next few weeks I will be in an intensive Graduate Etymology class. Each day I'll be responsible for reading about 40 pages of the textbook, posting a Q&A and doing a quiz. On top of teaching my students and keeping my flesh sack alive and well.

I'd also like to use this time to dedicate myself back to my yoga practice and dedicate 30 minutes on the mat each day.

The plan is to meal prep tomorrow so I always have something in the freezer to defrost and eat. I also want to start the day off with a smoothie so I'll prep smoothie bags.

This will be a great way to prep for 2025 as I'll be even busier than I am now. Going to keep this blog fed as my only social media during that time.

I've never thought of it this way. I have been thinking "It's not that deep" will protect my feelings and my heart .

Maybe it won't protect my body and spirit .
