It only took two weeks for my university to put out Official Merchandise of our mass shooting. T-shirts are only $26.99. Just in time for you last-minute Christmas shoppers!

I brilliantly build a bunch of cushion into my syllabi because the Formula 1 race will make it nearly impossible for me to get to work for half of November. I then torch a bunch of this cushion straight out of the gate by getting covid.
