It turns out my imposter syndrome was really something else entirely.

Of course I failed to read the room. I’m barely room-literate. I learned room as a second language (RSL) in high school, and have hardly had a chance to practice it since.

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you just might find
That the wealthy do get what you want

Late to bed and early to rise makes a man sleepy, weepy, and all bleary-eyes.

@atpfm, ATP Overtime was the perfect incentive to get at least one new subscriber (me). Week after week, you’ve picked topics I REALLY wanted to hear. Finally caved and went back to the first to start catching up on them (wish there was an Overtime-only feed! Thank goodness there are chapters, at least). Worth the $8 so far.

There is a fine line between mocking somebody for their medical condition, and taking a bit of righteous pleasure when misfortune strikes someone who is truly dangerous to society.

Frankly, I don’t give a fuck what side of that line you’re on, if the subject is RFK.

Always a scullery maid, never a scullery.

Wait. Let me start over.

Someone asked me (in a reasonable, non-trolly way) why I don't do more in color. It's a good question. Here was my answer to them.

Two main reasons. First, occasionally, though rarely, I do work in color. But most of my fine art stuff is indeed B&W. This is not because I have anything against color photography, but rather because, for my subjects and compositions, I generally find that color distracts from, rather than enhances, the shapes and tonalities that I'm trying to capture.

Lecturing physicist: ...and, as you can see here, the movement of the anti-matter thr—

Me (yelling from back of auditorium): Anti-matter movement?! Who's against matter? What, I'm not even allowed to be corporeal anymore? I—hey, get your hands off me, I have as much right to be at this lecture as anybody else...

Email from a student: "Can I use bullets in my project?"

Me: worriedly looking through the student's project proposal and wondering if I need to call the cops.

Turned they were asking if they could use bullet lists in a project document.

Context matters!

Anyone that ever got mind-f*cked by Trump had a dead worm in their brain.

They say it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission, but frankly I'd prefer that we just didn't talk at all.

Met Gala? I think I’d prefer the Unmet Gala, thanks.

Blocking somebody? Baller move. You’re in charge of your account. You decide who has access to you.

Telling someone, “I’m blocking you for that!” immediately before blocking them? Baby move. Your dysfunctional obsession with getting the last word in is showing.
