A spread of cards with the words Ivory Tower Inner Fire on the backs; one card at center flipped over shows an image of a phoenix rising from a crumbling tower struck by lightning, with the Roman numeral XVI at the top and the word Summit at the bottom. The words January 17-19, 2026 are below the spread of cards.

🤣 ... well let's hope i still land in the former category rather than the latter lol

One of the best parts of my job is that I teach at an open-access institution and sometimes these folks wander into my classes because they're just curious about art history. One of my closest friends and disability allies is one of those former "just curious" adult students.

I read an article years ago "Laziness does not exist" and it completely changed my pedagogical approach.

pretty sure every single person who goes to grad school is doing it at least in part to try to heal something for their inner child. no one (well, _I_ do) tells you when you're applying to grad school that it doesn't actually work and that that's what therapy / energy healing / witchcraft etc is for

I'd love to talk with you more about this.

This is such a cool collaboration.

@thornthewitch.bsky.social just wanted to check -- I sent you an email in reply to our long-lost thread from March (sorry about that ... life has been lifing), wanted to make sure it didn't land in junk.
