Going back in time…. First photo found in the Barnard archives, I’m probably about 30, at a conference. Why do I look like I’m in a Catholic school uniform? Second age 16, clearly SO happy to be in high school in Richmond, VA. Third age 12, again with the authentic Catholic school girl look!

Retired from NYU, teaching at Barnard 2025-2026. From the frying pan into the fire repression wise! But I have great students & colleagues in WGSS. Here is the BCRW reception—me with my brilliant former grad student, Barnard Prof Manijeh Moradian! And BCRW director in fab shoes—Rebecca Jordan-Young.

I saw Materialist tonight with highish expectations because Celine Song’s 1st film, Past Lives, was so beautiful. But this movie is utter crap, sentimental, cringey dialogue, terrible pacing.
But I also started watching Hulu’s Under the Bridge with lowish expectations. And OMG Lily Gladstone!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

My Brain Finally Broke Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension.

This is an amazing piece by JiaTokentino that captures the disorientation of the political present better than anything I’ve read yet
