Seriously I have an addiction to editing books. I may be a masochist. I have edited 3 books since 2023. Another one is midstream. And I’ve allowed another one into my heart because it addresses a real pedagogical need. What is wrong with me?

Another day another editorial project I’ve convinced myself to take on

Love it so so much!

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Fascinating to read as many of us sit at institutions making similar speculative real estate gambles….

Fire truck got stuck behind me *today* the slalom is too tight to pull over and have one pass !

I literally gave myself a headache driving from felicity back to Napoleon - slalom does not agree w me!

Once all of the other, uh, things are settled we really need a serious public health campaign around everything involved in being part of a society.

King cake season is where New Orleans SHINES in this regard. A month of communal cake being continually replenished

We have had some lovely meetings but apparently signs repeating the same points are TOO much. Sure, start a flyer war with the ART department.

So I have now received 2 written warnings from higher ups for having signage up about ICE requiring a judicial warrant to enter the art building/class rooms. Pretty sure TUPD the one who went around tearing down signs in the first place. This institutional “neutrality” in action.

This feels like a failure in marketing bc I love rotisserie chicken!

They want you not to care. They want you not to care that this is wrong and it is happening and it's happening all around us. Most of all, they want you not to care about these people. And we can't let them.

The perilous tween years of eye rolling do eventually give way, around 14/15 , to your own points being repeated back to you knowingly, as if you, the grown person, are new. Not sure which is worse.

An album for the tías. I approve

If someone doesn’t IMMEDIATELY market violet Bridgetons seduction ‘I’m the tea”corset robe combo DIRECTLY at mature women, they need to get right on it.

Thank you! I fully was like ?!?

Right at the start: Mandeville/Decatur!

Went to Boheme by myself and it was just a delightful parade experience. Rapidly becoming one of my favorite carnival traditions.

That’s not nothing!

I will! What side?

All I am hearing here is I BETTER GET A GRAIL DUDES

If I were a blue state governor, I’d be looking into adding a bunch of tenure lines at my state schools.

I know that seems like “kick ‘em when they’re down,” but it’s more like “let academics who can escape to where they can do real work.”

Builds up your own schools AND protect US academic output.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
