Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 24, 2020

More time boiling in her brain means it’s more refined in a different way.

Me, I used to do essay exams by taking the first half hour to jot notes and organize my thoughts, then spend the second half hour writing it.

Procrastinating nerds unite. While speaking in nerdy fashions, of course.

Get used to it, Dakota.

I’ve just been reading a story set (partly) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where there is an officially recognized spelling for “nerd”. At RPI, it’s spelled “knurd” which is the reverse of “drunk”

(This story is set in the early 1970s, so RPI may have changed a bit since then, but it does tell us that “knurd” was already a thing 50 years ago)

one day, Dakota, nerds will not just help the world, but also govern it

Good comeback, Phoebe!

Phoebe is the Ace of Nerds.

Way to go out nerding a nerd Dakota

Maybe Dakoda has also better grades than Phoebe.

At least she’s comfortable with her nerdiness.

Dakota – Queen of Pre-Teen Mean

Phoebe – Revolutionary Leader of Nerd Pride

Phoebe, you’re a smart. Don’t let anybody call you anything else.

Getting it done first is not a point of pride. Take time to make it better.

When Worlds Collide: that moment when Dakota first meets Prince Aspirational Arrogance.

A night of Pheobe making up excuses and not getting anything done, stretched out in a week.

Point goes to Phoebe.

Phoebe looks very elegant!
