“Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House” 🖤 been loving the gothic font requests lately!

My tiny mullet is back & I have one ear pierced so I fear I am unstoppable.

Lucretia & Sir Charles are best friends (Charles is a grumpy old man who huffs at her but he’ll get over it)

Me & my 1960’s Paul McCartney gumball machine ring against the world.

Representing @ogmatthewlillard.bsky.social always so my students know I am cool.

Happy first day of the semester to those that celebrate🦷📜

I always begin the year reading The Iliad & with the discourse surrounding Emily Wilson’s translation, I of course had to read it.

PS libraries and librarians are the best

as a literature professor & someone who works in the archives I am absolutely terrified of the future. however, it is crucial we know that our knowledge, our ability to speak, to create community, and to love cannot be stripped away. it’s the very foundation of ourselves. we sing, we soar.

new site means another opportunity to share photos of me & @ogmatthewlillard.bsky.social 🩷 everyone says not to meet your heroes but I am so glad I met mine; thank you for creating spaces for joy & belonging.

first post gotta be about scooby-doo
