One of the sad parts of being an adjunct is when students ask you to take part in really cool events or clubs...and you just can't 😕 Not because you don't want to, but because the time/days/extra time on campus just doesn't work with responsibilities at multiple schools.

Equally heart-breaking: check returned to sender because by the time our glacial bureaucracy has processed honorarium, speaker whose contract forced them to move across two time zones no longer known at that address.

I was about to frame a poster to give to speaker at the center that I run. Then, remembered that they are a who wouldn't want more glass-fronted breakables to cram into a U-Haul a few months from now.

The '' does not just contain (things), it also contains processes of change which act upon the things. is about the change, not the entity. All we are saying is that state changes happen because things are . That's all it is. Over time, things change and those changes arise from previous states. If were 'a number' then there would be no change and we're not talking about that.

Historians use scenarios to fathom in historical processes. Such has oftentimes highlighted surprisingly small events as of momentous consequences. "What if Cleopatra had had a smaller nose?" was Pascal's ironic exxaggeration of it. Still, whatever you now percieve to happen with Twitter and Mastodon, aks yourself: What if Musk had managed to wriggle out of his obligation to buy Twitter?
