close to home (so to speak) on day 1 at Kiplin Hall, the Yorkshire seat of the Calvert family—super lovely to start the week here, I went to college in Maryland and started my museum career there. just missing 🦀

have been back in London for the past 36ish hours & am really excited to head up to York (for the first time!) tomorrow for what’s sure to be an absolutely incredible program run by the Attingham Trust. thanks especially to the American Friends of Attingham for supporting my participation ❤️

is Karly Hartzman the next Bob Dylan (I’m joking but I’m also kind of really not lol)

I love the new version of Phish Pepsi on the new Wednesday album. the EP version with Advance Base is my favorite song of theirs already, and as much as I love the slow, heavy synth on the original I really really love the speedy, jammy guitar on Bleeds.

the site of TJ’s Paris home being a Zara on the Champs Élysées is incredibly classic and funny to me

wish I could say I wasn’t spending my day this way but I’m on a self created self guided solo Jefferson in Paris walking tour because I am first and foremost a loser

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

people have been living like this?

happens like that sometimes

in paris, eating (and drinking) exceptionally well

Wow you’re telling me the shooter was a weird white guy who was overly online and into esoteric far right groyper shit? No I didn’t know that, I’m hearing this now for the very first time. What can you say

Witnessed this with my own eyes: student was asking (and not receiving) justification for his removal from public property and the cop began to forceably push him down. That cop caused an escalation which absolutely could have been avoided. Kudos to students for keeping their heads.

gotta say nobody is doing it like him right now

surprise Djo album dropped and the TSA lady told me I’m “really good at this” going through security and I’m otw to Paris so maybe it’s all not so bad

spent a week making sure all of my prescriptions can be refilled early since I’m gone all month. was assured multiple times that everything is good to go by insurance, pharmacy, Dr. got to pharmacy, couldn’t pick up anything, spending the day crying on the phone to ppl all giving me different info

delta just let me know that for only 907 dollars I can upgrade to first class for my 1.5 hour long flight from Charlottesville to Atlanta tomorrow. tempting!

great day to unfollow a bunch of ppl I went to high school with

the concept of learning about Charlie Kirk’s assassination from Pop Base…

So much to think about here and be sad about. The one I keep focusing on is being made to worry about my students. All of this is based on mutual trust; weaponizing students against teachers is a crime, and breaks the spine of our education system.

I think they can sense that I’m about to leave for 3 weeks

can’t believe I found this creature in the street and now she lives in my house

best practice of course but the thought of showing up at the Charlottesville airport 3 hours early for anything is so funny

Still can’t get over the fact that @historians.org posted this job listing for a historian with ICE. Shocking but not particularly surprising. 🗃️

I’m eating a cinnamon roll for dinner

cried (secretly, to myself, so I thought) during yoga class ONCE and now every week my yoga teacher tells everyone that it’s normal to feel an emotional release embarrassing but also giving me main character syndrome kinda

watching the people of my lovely beautiful perfect home of New York boo Donald Trump was so healing bc tennis is so maga I literally thought everyone would be cheering

my cat thinks my anti depressants are treats for her

decided that I needed to watch thunderbolts tonight despite not being caught up on any marvel project since multiverse of madness and it was low key really good lol BUT ALSO fire whoever was in charge of my beloved Bucky’s wigs

literally all I want rn is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread but because I’m an insufferable libtard coastal elite snowflake I only have pb2 powder and bon maman raspberry jam and carb balance tortillas in my house

unrelated but does anybody else think about Amy Greenberg’s Manifest Manhood literally every single day all the time or just me

a kind of amazing representation of the past year of my life is that I just lost the eyelash I was trying to make a wish on lol

oversharing on the internet (as I do) but found out a year ago about the tumor that ruined my year (understatement), killed my ovary, and, despite being long gone now, continues to wreak havoc on basically every aspect of my life. weird anniversary to be having

it’s perfect

hate that there’s no drafts folder on this app because I have nowhere for my jokes that I haven’t built up the courage to post yet

his response to that question makes it seem like Trump genuinely did not know everyone thought he was dead over the weekend which is hilarious to me. nobody wanted to brief him on that????

everything Cameron Winter touches is gold cannot wait for this new Geese album

writing (if you can even call it that) chapter 2 and am at the “oh great everyone’s already said all of this” and “actually what am I actually even saying” stage

reverse seasonal depression because it’s 50 degrees out and all of the sudden I love being alive

Who’s the Clown by Audrey Hobert is probably the best debut album since??? Wet Leg??? Chappell Roan?

new Blood Orange is tight (no surprise!)

PLEASE does anybody have a gift link for Liz Gilbert piece in the Cut. I need it

me too

how it feels listening to the new Sabrina Carpenter album without someone whining in my ear about it being conservative propaganda or something

first half was feeling like this was going to be a disaster but as soon as I got to Nobody’s Son and heard that Blondie inspo I knew I was safe. back half of this album is magic, House Tour could have been the song of the summer
