For my 15th birthday in 1989, I got this Indigo Girls album, REM’s Green (after seeing them in concert), & Robyn Hitchcock’s Queen Elvis. I still listen to them often.

1989 really was an amazing year for music. If you don’t know this Phranc album, you should.

Yes yes yes! More people should know about that Phranc album.

I really enjoyed Higher Magic! You captured so much about academia and grad school—the bad abd the good.

That whole album is so good! I was in high school when it came out, and in choir we learned the choreography from the video for Rhythm Nation. It was intense!

It’s such a great book.

From my before bed book stack, I just finished The Land of Sweet Forever (so good!) & am fixing to start reading Doll Parts—which is making my internal jukebox even more chaotic than usual.

How wonderful!

I’m feeling cranky today, so I put on some Emmylou Harris music, which calms me down. And I remembered the time in high school that I blew out one of the speakers on my parents’ stereo, blasting Emmylou Harris. I have always been a badass.

In fact, I posted this earlier today.

I fully support this. Honestly, most of Emmylou Harris’s albums.

And now I've reached the part of the day where I just want to listen to Big Star's Thirteen on repeat. So I shall. Yay for headphones!

Interesting! I’ll see what I can find.

Even in magical universities. There are still student success portals to log onto to access the early alert system.

I’m so glad that I learned about this novel from @scalzi.com (that @markensley.bsky.social pointed me to). I’m 60 pages in, & I’m fascinated by magic in this world.
And, as an English prof myself, I’m also fascinated by how @courtney-floyd.com has brought so much of academia & teaching to this world

It’s a funnier book than I expected—her sense of humor reminds me some of your sense of humor.

There's still plenty of time to register for our upcoming online information session about our graduate programs in the School of Arts and Letters at Middle Georgia State University.

UT Professor Shines Light on Virginia Woolf - College of Arts and Sciences UT Professor Urmila Seshagiri’s scholarship provides context for Virginia Woolf’s first fully realized work of fiction in The Life of Violet: Three Early Stories. A century after Virginia Woolf became...

Yep—discovered by a professor at my alma mater.

@robynhitchcock.bsky.social Have you read The Life of Violet, the new Virginia Woolf, yet? It strikes me as humor that you would enjoy.

Dolly’s okay ❤️

I had this cassette.

Ooh, this sounds fantastic! Congratulations-I look forward to reading this.

There’s one book of hers that had me laughing well beyond crying—I was laughing to the point of dry heaving.

But puns are always welcome, too ❤️

(But I do hear you and see you. Please know that if you need a break, there’s plenty to take up the slack, if you need it.)

This is like the anti-spelling bee thing that my high school calculus teacher did. If you got a question correct, you got to sit down.

I sent myself a reminder about prepping for an upcoming class: “get wise blood.”
And now I’m imagining several ways that this message might be misunderstood.

How wonderful!
