The morning after the storm. To give you some perspective: that is the black handrail on my deck (about 4 feet in height).

Another snow storm. ❄️ View from kitchen window. Snowing for 12 hrs now. ❄️Probably another 12 to go. ☃️

@sarah-revilla.bsky.social just in time for Halloween!

#snowday hasn’t stopped snowing.

Snow day through home office window.

Snow storm outside, a good book, and cozy furry friend.

Early morning light. No filter.

Finished “The Good House” after I read “The Reformatory”. @tananarivedue.bsky.social reels you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat … while also delivering a strong message of how the past can always come back to haunt the present. Reading next:

Routledge just posted a excerpt of a review for my book “Untaming Girlhoods: Storytelling Female Adolescence” www.routledge.com/Untaming-Gir...

Today marks another trip around the sun 🥳 for me. 🎁 from my boys 🧙🏼‍♀️🧛‍♀️ might up late reading 🤓

The next two books on my spooky season reading. @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Good House” (audio) and “The Year of the Witching” by Alexis Henderson.

Views on today’s walk.

A touch of fall on this evening walk.

Sinking my teeth into my spooky season reading “early” 🧛‍♀️ “Thirst” -can’t go wrong when it starts with a quote about the Bloody Countess Elizabeth Bathory. 🧛‍♀️ “The Historian” listening to the audiobook which brings back memories of Anne Rice’s Lestat telling his story.

If you are going to pick up a book this fall make it @tananarivedue.bsky.social “The Reformatory”. Incredibly written. Draws you in with raw and gut wrenching storytelling that reminds us all of the strength in telling our stories — not just for us but for all of those whose voices were silenced.

Common sense : If you receive an out of office auto reply do not send a “reminder” prior to the person’s return to office. 🙄🧐

Inspirational work by artists at Syzygy on the theme of “silent violences” covering topics from femicide to intersectional “bodies”. Looking forward to giving my talk today on shifting the gaze on female embodied knowledge by ta(l)king back our stories. So many ideas to bring home with me…

While working at Casa de Vidro museum (Campinas, Brazil) today we were joined by local furry supervisors.

In Campinas, Brazil and excited for another collaboration with Syzygy. English title: Ta(l)king Back Our Stories: Medusa's Gaze and Pandora's Box of Collective Female Knowledge

What are my plans this weekend?

There might be a theme to my summer reading 🤓

Tonight’s evening walk

"I don't know what's more difficult...being colored or being a woman." Jacqueline Pinkowitz's new essay in Black Camera looks at how Black Gothic + Black bodies in LOVECRAFT COUNTRY "interrogates the embodied, physical horrors of race & enslavement." @projectmuse.bsky.social doi.org/10.2979/blc....

Rain and sunset. (Sound on)

Last weekend of my sabbatical … 😢 so decided to treat myself to this lovely novel

Call For Proposals: Gothic Blackness: Exploring Ethnogothic, New Black Gothic, and Afro-Gothic Themes in Literature, Film, and Culture Special Issue of American Gothic Studies americangothicsociety.com?fbclid=IwY2x...

10 days left on on my sabbatical 😿 Summer is here 😃 Cue husband to tear his Achilles 😭

Adventures in my outdoor office: one of these things is not like the others 😂

Just sitting reading a book on the deck … until the 😺su-purr-visor 😺 interrupts

Opening up the outdoor office with evening negroni. 🍹

Rainy Sunday vibes with Mia.

Hello all! We're looking for conference panel chairs for the Romancing the Gothic conference on August 23rd and 24th on M R James and short ghost/gothic fiction. Early career academic? Masters student? Independent scholar? Give me a shout! (You get a free ticket to the conference!)

Sometimes you just need a Su-purr-visor like Mia to keep you on schedule.

Excited to be giving this talk next week!

When you’ve been away for 10 days … furry friend becomes your shadow upon your return.
