ah, so it turns out that the reason that Hoosband has been so calm the last few days is that he hadn't read the news all week. This morning he caught up and now he's attending a protest, so at least things are back to normal in our household.
I have so much grading to do that my body rebels against it, mostly be reading fanfiction. It's not a good habit, since it leads to late nights, afternoon naps, and general loss of grading time and brain-space.
Part of the problem is that I need a certain amount of brain "downtime" before I feel ready to grade, which, given that Miss Rutabaga goes to bed at 9pm, means that I'm not really ready to grade until 10pm. But I also have trouble falling asleep after I've been hyped up from grading, so if I don't want to be hyped up at midnight looking for some sort of fic distraction, I need to have some other wind-down activity to start around 11:30pm. I think my problem was starting on a 60k fic at 1pm. Well, no, I'd read a 10k fic and didn't feel satisfied. I dunno. Maybe I should find something else calming to do that has a finite end to it....

Also, please pass my thanks to Hoosband for protesting. It's incredibly heartening to see how many people find wanton judicial and extrajudicial murders of Black people to be wrong. I've been feeling for four years like I lost my country and paradoxically I might be beginning to recover from that feeling.
