Two children at school in uniforms and it looks like Japan, both of them look like girls or femmes. One is holding a giant tuba so that it's stuffed over the face of the other one that's pinned up against the wall. The one holding the tuba is labeled every company.

Hello, Bluesky!

Using this first post to say that for any educators using Dreamland Burning in Oklahoma (or any other place where officials are afraid of real discussions about complex history), my hour-long virtual visits are now free. Y’all are heroes.

Happy Birthday to James Joyce, born #OTD in 1882.
'He wanted to cry quietly but not for himself: for the words, so beautiful and sad, like music.'🎢 🎸

In that fun and exciting moment in planning for the World of Dylan where we begin seeing proposals come over the transom while lining up some unique keynote events. We expect to begin sharing news about the program shortly after the paper proposal deadline closes on 28 February.

I've just made the jump over here from Twitter--for too many obvious reasons. Still not a heavy user of social media, but looking to find at least some of what the old site used to be. Mostly Dylan, Joyce, arts, and humanities.
