Former English professor, current librarian. Dabbler in digital humanities and AI literacy. Filled with middle aged rage at pretty much any ism you care to name. Loves dogs, cooking, reading and gardening.
Big storm just finished and it was indeed raining cats and dogs, so we adopted one. Meet Moose (formerly Melvin). He's just as goofy and happy as he looks, and in the limited interactions they've had, he and Murphy are getting along great.

I literally reared my head back in horror reading the first headline, and then again with the second. Several hours later, I'm also recognizing these are both cases of Black bodies being put on the line for democracy and freedom, as has been true through our country's history.

Can't even with today, so I'll just focus on the fact that I listened to a webinar about data activism outside in 75 degree weather, lit my grill for the first time this year (finishing off a sous vided brisket), and found the first crocus of the season

This is unacceptable, and as an identifiably Jewish academic, I have to say: Not in my name. I refuse to be the government’s excuse for xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Palestinian racism. This is not for my safety, and it never will be.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:
Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

I still feel physically sick after watching this. What kind of performative toxic masculinity cosplay is this and how can any country ever trust or respect America again?
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Slow clap for @maddow.msnbc.com for calling out @msnbc.com for firing @joyannreid.bsky.social along with Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin, and Katie Phang. Ironic to see this absolute model of using your power to call out wrong right after the interview with Hakeem Jeffries.

Absolutely stunning performances by Coalescence Theatre Project today to a packed room. I'm so thankful for those who make art and give us courage and joy in the scariest of times. (And yes, I went from teary eyed to total sobbing as they recited Claude McKay's "If We Must Die" and "America")
