This is doing numbers again & I realized I never shared mine, which is that the character of Jane Eyre is based on Dorothy Wordsworth.

A hill i will die on is that rigorous no-bullshit reading and substantive intellectual exchanges among those who have done the homework is the highest possible compliment we can pay to one another, especially now

Love a late-night email to myself that just says “pedantic trolley problem doomerism”

Hands that are always writing things On mirrors for people to see later— —John Ashbery, from “‘How Much Longer Will I Be Able to Inhabit the Divine Sepulcher . . .’l

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

A super interesting opportunity at the Whitney Humanities Center. The deputy director there, @dianeberrettbrown.bsky.social, is awesome and you know I <3 New Haven. Please repost and spread the word!!

In a historic moment, I was interviewed by fellow Black woman particle physicist Dr. Katrina Miller. Few people can understand my journey the way she does. We talked about my new book, why poetry matters, and yes, how the *fact* of non-trinary neutrinos challenges anti-trans rhetoric. #GiftLink

I want it on a t- shirt.

Me explaining ska to my kids like “the horns symbolized the fantasy of economic progress”

We are happy to discuss projects for the series. Contact us: [email protected] I’m guessing it goes without saying that we are eager to work with scholars of color.

Happy birthday to the OG Taurus Sun/Virgo rising queen, Mary Wollstonecraft, who taught us that you can change the history of thought while staying thirsty, messy, and authentic as hell.

Actually Victorian: Shonda Rhimes; David Simon.

there’s also this book that argues all our romanticism is colonial, i haven’t read it but i heard it caused a small stir

Ok JUST FOR FUN obvs Austen is late c18/Romantic-era/Regency BUT is our RELATIONSHIP TO AUSTEN a Victorian construction plz discuss

help my 6yo discovered that after his father (very reasonably) says no to something, one thing he can do is saunter over to me and whisper, “good cop says yes”

Now I will give you a piece of advice. I will tell you something that I absolutely believe you should do, and if you do not do it you will never be a writer... When your pencil is dull, sharpen it. And when your pencil is sharp, use it until it is dull again. —Mary Ruefle

Got a manuscript off my desk yesterday and I think I have a book hangover?

Honored to be part of this, thrilled to see it in all its intellectual pink!!

I wonder if people understand that for many of us the pride flag is not just an expression of queer identity it is a REJECTION OF THE CLOSET SPECIFICALLY. That is- its display is explicitly meant to COUNTER the conditions of queer invisibly, which has been at the heart of our marginalization. 1/

about to read my own writing, pray for me

Every time I get an email from a robot claiming to run a book club, I think this can’t be the future dippin’ dots was the ice cream of

Next time some AI executive says he will control all knowledge and sell it back to people you tap the sign Wollstonecraft wrote: WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE THERE CAN BE NO MORALITY! -vindication of the rights of woman (1792)

This will be the lecture of my LIFE! Next Thursday at the Boston Athenaeum: COMMON SENSE at 250. Washington’s copy will be on display. It’s sold out (!!!) but will be posted online afterwards for everyone to see.

if only those who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs knew that one day one might go to Margaritaville before Wuthering Heights

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for your tireless efforts to protect families harmed by family detention. Juan needs medical care, safe housing, access to nutrition and a nurturing environment. Detention and deportation without due process is cruel and wrong.

The 2-month-old baby in ICE detention was so sick he was hospitalized and unresponsive last night. Despite that, today, he and his entire family were deported. Now we don’t know where they are or if the baby is receiving healthcare.

Me: I read Wuthering Heights last month so I'd be ready for the movie but now I don't really want to see the movie because it doesn't look at all like the book. My psychiatrist: I meant any problems with your medication

Valentine’s Day is a scam run by Scorpios to create more Scorpios

Ok—I have been doing my #LastMan200, and I’m up to chapter 5! I have the edition with the Solnit intro, and reading up to this point, I’m a little confused by her disappointment with the female characters. They seem kind of fine to me! Certainly less out of place/time than riding a horse, haha

only proofs due tomorrow could force me to finally do my emails

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialism—the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisis—despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present. The people of the Americas live on: seguimos aquí.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

We turn the lights on for each other. We fix it for each other, together.

In case anyone forgot or didn't understand the reference www.wgbh.org/news/2017-10...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
