For all of its, ah, issues, academia has managed to be one of things keeping me going through all of this weirdness.
@Burk toponyms from the area where I first did fieldwork, so my main machine Eleutherai and my backup is Oinoe
@kimberlyhirsh also slogging through my first major round of thesis revisions so that's...something.
@kimberlyhirsh big mood! I’m doing my best to ignore all of my university's best efforts to get me to sign up for productivity workshops and to actively build in at least two 30ish minutes breaks during the day where I can read, nap etc. Plus I've generally been ending my "work" day somewhere between 5 and 6 on weekdays (earlier on weekends).
@yorrike glad to hear that this is still happening
@yorrike in my opinion, yes! I have…concerns, shall we say, about the larger arc of the narrative, since I don't want to see the characters in conflict, but that's also part of why it's so good.
Fortunately, most of my fears did not come to pass in episode 2. So there’s hope yet.
@brentsimmons sobering, and important to keep in mind
