@ae_stallings I. Am. Dying. FTW.

@ae_stallings “Erotic Immigrant” sounds like a poem that needs to be written.

Help save classics at the University of Iowa-- if only the Ivies end up have classics departments, it means access to these texts, literatures, and histories is severely limited. https://t.co/vby4FTorJR

@ae_stallings When and where in Michigan?

@TBartscherer Doppelgängers for sure—the memory I have is the audible gasp that occurred when he suggested that eating an ice cream cone was one of the most Oedipal things you could do. #oceanicfeeling

I had the tremendous privilege of attending ⁦@UChicago⁩ during Lear’s tenure. He was a formidable thinker, an engaging teacher, and a prolific scholar. Let’s preserve his legacy by supporting graduate programs in the humanities and social sciences. https://t.co/EzAAoMtGyt

@ae_stallings I really liked “Eleanor and Park” by Rainbow Rowell—Romeo and Juliet set in the 80s.

Indiana University is eliminating or suspending over 100 academic programs in arts and humanities, science, education, public health, and more

The cuts come after a new Board of Trustees majority, which has called for more “practical” degrees https://t.co/a2ehD4RRJt

@ae_stallings One of my favorites. I read it with students in my World Lit class. It pairs really well with “Home” by Warsan Shire.

@tedgioia Exactly! https://t.co/5tZmPRskV1

This is appalling. Lawmakers are now being shot and assassinated — targeted for their political beliefs.

We pray for their families. We grieve with Minnesota. We call for peace in our politics.

@adrianmckinty @ae_stallings Lovely-/but Queen Anne’s Lace is never flowering in June.

@ae_stallings Iced? Decaf? Espresso Martini?

[Angela Taraskiewicz @ATaraskiewicz]

@ae_stallings Outrageous and heartbreaking.

@ae_stallings Browse is one of my favorite words in the English language.

@amjuster Yikes! Glad you are okay!

It’s half-time at the Super-bowl of democracy right now, and folks we are losing. If you were elected to serve your district and defend the Constitution it is time to get in the game like @RepTomSuozzi

[Tom Suozzi @RepTomSuozzi]

I’m all for cutting inefficiencies, rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, but there’s a thing… a pesky little thing…. it’s called the Constitution. The Constitution put Congress in charge of oversight and the power of the purse.

[Angela Taraskiewicz @ATaraskiewicz]

@adrianmckinty It is so good!
