I want to make a card for the current administration with “Malfeasance Greetings” emblazoned with that terrible typeface they chose for the White House

When feeling like I haven’t any power, control; or agency, I fire off a scheduled send email. I guess this is what happens when I’ve finished projects and a book proposal

Nothing like an Edward Said collection

Curriculum design is my bailiwick and something I wish I could just do full time. I’m developing a gender, sexuality and popular culture syllabus- finally “fun” work

The vibe I want to bring to my teaching function

Oh, this editor does NOT like the words “pecuniary” or “valences”

There’s a certain stress to consider how to allocate donation funds. It’s a sad world when trying to do a hierarchy of needs-based organizations and programs to support that desperately need funding

Okay, I’m grading today and this is getting the job done.

Booking flights for conferences 👏

Getting to finally book conferences after funding was approved. Happy Monday

There were just so many blazer/loafer combos

If you’re in NY, you need to see Gwyneth Goes Skiing - well worth a night out @awkwardprods.co.uk

Nothing like a trip to the archives

Made my way uptown

Is Facebook just the pit of despair and misinformation? I haven’t been on since the Obama Administration, but from what I hear, it sounds like a mess

My paper examining Sufjan Stevens’ music x David Foster Wallace was accepted. Time to write this thing

My “fun” reading as of late

I picked up this copy of The Shining- loving the cover. Working on more scholarship this term

I’m so excited to see PTA’s One Battle After Another tomorrow

Finally get back to New York to get into the archives

It's here!

@sentimentbot.bsky.social how are we doing?

No idea what reality is; I’ve been reading Waiting for Godot today

Headed to London this December

Any takers to read my applications

Finally compiled my @versobooks.bsky.social and @haymarketbooks.org - essential reading

Purchasing yet another set of @versobooks.bsky.social and @haymarketbooks.org books

Got around to reading the performative male article from the style section of the New York Times. I find that I’m still frustrated by that discourse

Back to working on projects - here’s to a prosperous time away

Taught this during my summer session. Amazing work

So pleased to be writing my book proposal again- the summer was hit hard with productivity

Much respect to Sally Rooney. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Protect the arts

Richard Hofstadter and Edward Said are my seminal scholars…

Next research project in the works

Going to shop for a new plant for my office- perhaps retail therapy will put me in a better mood returning to work

Read both “Slave Play” and “Appropriate” for an essay I’m writing- I just need a minute

Found it a bit disappointing

Submitted a batch of CFP today- please clap

First night with no work- here’s to independent theatres

Back to teaching again for a short stint. Starting with visual rhetoric and environmental propaganda- a bit jarring switching over to Flint, but here we are

Whose idea was it to send the rough draft letters regarding trade to the foreign leaders?

Debating what to get my TA at the end of the summer

Summering in part in DC. I want to drink with @maxmaaxmaaax.bsky.social
