things i shall and shan't abide, and things i have no choice about

shall:

• students not always doing their best work
• "storage wars"
• wrong-headed scholarship that i need to account for in my own work (though i shan't spend too much time with it)
• difficult truths from kind and ethical dog-lovers
• my son's 5:30 wakeup time
• some outdated and ill-fitting aspects of my wardrobe
• grad students' existential fears raised by my course materials
• spiders

shan't:

• absolutism & intolerance for inconsistency
• imperiousness from crazy domineering bitches
• the threat of animal violence against my son
• aspects of my wardrobe that compromise my dignity beyond repair
• people all up in my shit judging it and shit
• centipedes

no choice:

• man's inhumanity to man
• institutional sexism
• pernicious and subtle homophobia
• the effects of age and childbirth on the human body and the resultant wardrobe issues
• ants
