@clascholars.bsky.social is THE. PLACE. TO. BE. SEEN.
The cold of NYC after the practically balmy Southern weather of Memphis just feels offensive 😒 — but I’m back or whatever….😬🤣
My nearly 90-year-old Memphis-based Granny and I wrapped our New Year’s Day phone call with a chat about the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Inauguration — she lit up like she’s from NYC:
“I like him! He keeps Trump in line, AND he’s also good looking like that California Governor.”
😳
M’AM! 🤣
Happy Holidays from The College Language Association, President @jervette.bsky.social & VP Janaka Lewis

#IAmWriting about the Public Theater’s 2023 production of “Hamlet in the Park.” I attended the *2-hour and 45 minutes* performance with @jervette.bsky.social! The production was highly anticipated after the racial reckoning of 2020, but did it live up to the hype? Stay tuned to see! #Dissertation
