Interesting- glad to see area studies more detailed. I know some colleagues of mine have long wanted to place creative writing (and MFAs) with fine & performing arts so this is interesting.

No!?! I'm sorry! I didn't want to share my crown experience when you told me you'd be having one done... but I went through two temps + remolding bc the first wasn't at all right. It's still not great tbh but I don't want it redone as long as it's not causing problems.

pretty much any of those cities would be a welcome escape (!)

Tori Amos 2026 UK & European tour dates for new album In Times of Dragons; graphic includes a wooden piano with dragon wings on the sides

Please allow this GenX girl her fantasy of flying to Milan when the school year ends to see @toriamos.bsky.social tour of new pro-democracy album

Minimal-violence mysteries as travel TV is my zone. Better if the plot involves art theft instead of murder. But I guess no one is making VC dollars off those.

Bali FC players celebrate their diverse religions An Indonesian football club's players make a statement about unity on the pitch

OK, here it is. Bali FC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-n...

I am remembering one with I think 3 different players in prayer poses from different religions?

So depressing, on many levels. Makes me not interested in finding fan parks even.

Op-ed: The tragedy of #Florida's famous Lake Okeechobee being listed as the most polluted lake in the USA cannot be ignored.. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/opinio...

Would be fun (sorta) to put hires' descriptions of their jobs next to their job postings.

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. (And may the hurricanes stay well off shore.)

The truly perfect business model doesn’t exi-

The whole gathering of military leaders reminds me a bit too much of being in a hall of faculty members at some required meeting listening to slide shows on "active learning" where no active learning is taking place... although in this case I guess that is a preferred scenario.

All the negative emotions as I read this quote… but that me say instead may these women researchers doing the work have clear sailing 🙏🏽

Was just mentioning to @stacyparkerlemelle.bsky.social this is what we need to see this Fall. When below average is a relief.

Monica Youn’s National Book Award Finalist collection of poems, From From (2023).

This week. We made it? Spoke at local teaching conference today on embodied writing - went really well! And couldn’t help notice AI wasn’t mentioned once in Qs & comments. Also won via raffle a book of poems I’d been interested in, so a good day. Shout out to everyone making our broken world work.

Pope nixes 'virtual pope' idea, explains concerns about AI Pope Leo XIV said a proposal to create an AI-version of him so people could have a virtual audience with the pope pretty much horrified him.

Important work!

Terracotta-style clay tile with a paw print center left, maybe from a small dog?

Not as historic, but my house, built in 1948, has a Saltillo (Mexican) kitchen floor tile with similar paw mark. I do love that’s it’s there.

The narration also is quality.

I was invited to use one at an Italian spa! They called it a “Scottish shower” - idea is very cold water in dumped on you all at once. Often part of a sequence with other types of saunas/baths. I declined.

The Growing Role of the Humanities at Community Colleges UPCOMING: September 10, 2025 | 2 p.m. ET. While community colleges are best known as engines for work-force development, the number of students seeking associate degrees in the humanities is increasin...

Logging on to this now... already zonked from the work week and perhaps hoping against hope for inspiration but topic/line-up looks good and we need to be having these conversations:

Now this is a political platform. The FIFA grift is shameless so I don't expect them to listen, but maybe it nudges the conversation? "Game Over Greed" a good slogan for many uses.

An actual goal from fluid play. Nice connect from Zendejas. #USMNT

Heavy work/grading day so didn't tune in for Italy's World Cup qualifier. 4-5?! That's not a game for the work week. Even Gattuso looked stunned at the end despite the last minute victory.

In the same boat in the last year or so! Used to love saying I was 5’ and 1/4”… alas. Still hold out hope I can re-lengthen neck/spine just enough with renewed Pilates efforts. Curses to all the online work required of us.

College email includes warning of an alligator sighting in the lake across from my dept. building… one more hazard to navigate this week. cc: @stacyparkerlemelle.bsky.social
