English prof is trying to talk me into changing my major. I supposedly have a "gift" for writing and speaking. Got a lot of thinking to do. 

Turned in church annulment paperwork today. 🥳
Boy is he going to be pissed when they call him. Almost 2 years to the day from our separation. 
(He is not abusive, I am not worried about his reaction. If he was abusive the church would take that into consideration and not contact him.) 

Grandma Historian passed away from Covid this morning. Grandpa Historian also has Covid, but is doing well. Can y'all please spare a moment and say a prayer or just send some positive energy our way? Every little bit helps. 

It’s always so freaking annoying when you’re supposed to have a phone call at a certain time and it never comes…

Can we please do fall now?

I HATE MICROECONOMICS. That is all. 

LOL, I read the Bible an awful lot for someone who's a hard-materialist atheist. But, then, I was raised culturally Christian, & US culture is so deeply steeped in Christianity, it's difficult to escape it.
I like the Bible websites, tending to like the gateway one better than the hub one, for usability reasons. I really like that they have all the versions, all the different books, & all the commentaries. I did buy a Bible, in college lol, a big fat scholastic bible with all the books & a ton of footnotes. I started an atrocity project with it long ago & it's full of post-its.
I've definitely developed a preference in versions, liking the NIV best so far, it's marvelously clear & the least disappointing when I dig into the depths. The KJVs are muddled & difficult to understand. Recently I've gotten to thinking that's why all these my-own-private-patriarchal-cult & grifters & et al like the KJVs so much, cuz they're a more obscure version that requires more 'explaining', is more open to interpretation. In addition to the obvious historical reasons why, like feeling all connected to the Pilgrim eras, & sounding all Shakespearean.
I mostly end up reading the Bible as a fact-checking exercise, wondering what the verses & chapters say, the verses that people will have in their bios or social media postings. Tho' I do a fair amount of wondering why people think a thing that ostensibly has Biblical roots, digging around that.
Fwiw.

Second grade defeated me today. Worst class ever. 

This first-name-prevalance tool is one of my favorite websites ever. Sadly US-specific but nonetheless fascinating for nerds like me.

I hate English class. That is all.
