This is the same eugenic belief system that many still hold re: the ongoing pandemic. They believe people’s deaths from covid are acceptable if they’re medically vulnerable. It’s a disgusting ableist belief system and this rhetoric surrounding children in Gaza is the natural consequence of that

1350 Euro to pay if my article I took time to write (!!!) is published in the respected "Media and Communication" journal? Journal believes that no author should pay that & I should get my institution to pay it. My institutional funds are v limited and def not around 2600CAD equivalent to publish.

Remember, kids: If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing!

Hypertext temporality—find me there.

Hi! I wrote about how my insightful kids helped me recognize & grapple with belonging as an immigrant to Canada. What does even being 'Canadian' mean these days? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wondering (hoping?!) if my 3 year old will shout ACAB when the police visits her daycare tomorrow. That's her usual response when she sees them on the streets, learned from her older abolitionist sibling.

The whole entire world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing to recall I can't remember right now because the people who taught me that song and the ones I sang it with may make the same excuses when they come for me, and you—Joelle Novey

Columbia has a long history of this! My great-grandfather was a student of Dr. Longfellow Dana before he got fired for opposing World War One.

how i think i look when teaching / how i actually look

I wonder what Sasha would've rated Covid on the Shulgin Scale? I'm thinking ++.

In the XIU XIU stage of this covid infection.

My 8 year old is doing their school project on 'jungle' with another classmate who has never heard of this music (fair enough—no one in their class has heard of jungle/drum n bass). Their project will involve making their first song.

On this day 12 years ago, @kcg.bsky.social posted the “This is Fine” comic.

I know the revising-writing is hitting the 'how much more agonizing can it get' stage when I come back here again, after 29 days.

Not sure I would have made it through high school without discovering Nikki Giovanni & her precise cuts with words. “I’ve not learned the acceptable way of saying you fascinate me / I’ve not even learned how to say I like you without frightening people away”

"I hope I die warmed by the life that I tried to live.”

What's the big deal about "buying" digital music to "own"? We all used to do that with vinyl, tapes, CDs... and then we had radio to take us on a more passive journey, and now we also have radio but even better, we have digital downloadable radio archives.

One day I hope to have an excused absence from a student not about illness/stress/anxiety but that they were too busy falling in love.

Also, I wonder when I'll be able to actually listen to the new Sade song the whole way through. I've tried about a dozen times and I can never get past a minute or so without turning into a emotional mess. #protecttranskidsforever

"Mama, put on The Seed, Kemet Crew" my 2.5 year old asks before even saying hello as I pick her up from daycare. #youcantstopjunglefrompleasingyou www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOx7...

Wearing red lipstick, yet never washing her hair, kind of mother.

Always present in the moment of my past.

Is there space for the erotic online anymore?

What gestures turn you on the most?

Being unsearchable on the web is so seductive.

The desire to be desired by way of one's desiring language.

Czy mnie znasz po polsku? Mój język mocny, nawet gorący. A po francusku? Po francusku to ja idę za tobą, trzymając twój język z swoim. A po angielsku, to znam na co dzień, sprzątanie i praca.

She is in a perpetual hurry to teach her classes because the mornings are the only time alone with her lover. She arrives with tousled hair, the wrong belt, and a baguette that never has the chance to be made into a meal. The students tease her about the baguette and her constant smile.

So much depends upon the October weather balmy and seducing bodies to keep wearing button up see-through dresses

She is writing a novel, and an academic monograph.
