Lucha libre at CU Boulder right now!!

Feeling not just energized but also much more emotional than I thought celebrating my community, its aliveness and not just its heritage at this particular time.

🎉 [urgently needed quesadilla emoji]

Posting about this again because it’s too cool to just post once. TRACEROUTE POEMS AT THE ALHAMBRA, what?!🔥🧯🥵

My upper division students have been doing *such an amazing job* reading Puig’s El beso de la mujer araña that I might just change the syllabus to watch a couple movies and give them a bit of a reading break…

ELIZA got sassy with us today...

First soup weather day of the season calls for tortilla soup.

Returning to the mothership in November for the first time since graduating, it'll be ... fun? Enlightening? Interesting, at least for me, and hopefully also for my generous hosts and my audience.

First review of Binding Media is out in Bibliographica (the journal of UNAM's Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliograficas). I'm super thankful to Miriam Peña for the incredibly generous reading of my work and the amazing translations of my terms into Spanish 💕💕

Reupping this because being split fucking sucks.

Not the most spectacular, but still a pretty and pretty good Chile en nogada

Seeking an expert to clone me and relocate one of me to CDMX. Serious inquiries only. Thank you!

Here to report that Mexican panaderías are already selling pan de muerto and, happily, I am here for it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Friends don't let friends use academia dot edu. kfitz.info/academia-not...

September 19: The day Mexico City trembles, real or drill apnews.com/article/mexi... By @verzamex.bsky.social for @apnews.com

National drill

My earliest memories are from 40 years ago when the 1985 earthquake hit Mexico City. Fuzzy images of my mom picking me up as the ground moved under her feet, I think we fell on a couch; the kindergarten classroom in disarray: color pencils and other supplies all over the floor; broken buildings.

Here to report that Tim Hortons has a bunch of branches in Mexico City. Maybe that’s old news, but new to me!

Argentine novelty wine brands go hard

As the cubs grow, they’re spending more time exploring outside the den, so it’s time for us to say goodbye to the cam. The cubs will be ready to explore their outdoor habitat in just a few weeks, but don’t worry—you’ll still see plenty of cub content in the meantime!

Denver zoo baby lions bringing the timeline joy we all need.

Ok, what nobody had told me about asking students to keep commonplace books and taking a look at them is how much one learns about all these young people! 🤯🤯 I actually had a great time "grading." It also helps that it's a really good group who (I think) like discussing works of literature.

🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 We like our ceremonies Link starts right before El Grito, but if you're into very ceremonious ceremonies ~2:56:30 is a good time to start 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Gonna do what I never do. Stay up (to me) very late, so I can watch el Grito de Independencia... because Mexican feelings...

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month y’all

battle doom scrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: the first sip of coffee in the morning petting dogs' ears fresh sheets on the bed realizing it's earlier than you thought biting into juicy just perfect fruit

Super thrilled to share with y'all that my new article on the infrastructures behind Digital Poetry in Lat Am just dropped at @jlacstravesia.bsky.social, under the amazing editorial work of @azucastro.bsky.social and Estefi Bournot <3 *YAY* #elit www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

All the articles look great, but Magalí Rabasa's "Amistad Política en la Página: The Materiality of Print Books as a Site of Feminist Translation" is 🔥

Do not miss Revista de Estudios Hispánicos' (59.1) Dossier "Reading in the Time of Media Multiplicity: Practices from Latin America" edited by Marcy Schwartz! I don't have an article there, but Binding Media got its first citation in the intro (...according to google scholar).

Not really judging whoever wrote on this library book, but the person who wite-outed it—that’s new 🤯

LINK ROT: 38% webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer available 10 years later. Even among pages that existed in 2021, 22% no longer accessible just two years later. This is often because individual page was deleted or removed on otherwise functional website. Many implications for knowledge 🧪

A writing tool innovation that actually fosters critical thinking!

These arrived in the mail today (one via library's purchase)! Now I need to eventually get @elikaortega.bsky.social's autograph for my Books by Friends mini-bookshelf 🤓 Can't wait to find the winter time to dive into all the titles and take many notes (Thanks Élika for alerting us of the discount)

The Cranberry

Got my flu and covid shots this afternoon and hopefully I won't need to use my arms for the next day or so...

New pet peeve: folks who won't keep email threads with specific topics/foci separate.

Amplifying this with a repost. All reposts help spread the word. Thanks for any help!

The landscape in higher ed is bleak right now, but here's a bright light at my institution: there's a new tenure track position at @davidsoncollege.bsky.social in Gender & Sexuality Studies. Please share widely!

Figured people would be happy to learn that today, *for work,* I got fed: - 1 asada taco - 1 adobada taco - 1 chicken fajitas taco - 1 mole enchilada - rice and beans - 1 tamal - 1 cup of esquites - 1 piece of flan

Where are we on responding to an email with a simple "yes" and signature?
