Last night, in celebration of Black History Month at Hampden-Sydney College, I had the honor of meeting and introducing THE Dr. Nikki Giovanni as our keynote speaker. You can’t see it but I’m levitating—we hit it off over sardines, eels, water, bats, and our love for life forms!

I will never forget the day when I was in a pet store and I walked by a female Eclectus parrot and she said very politely said “Hi.” I turned around and there was nobody else there, just her, staring at me with soft, intelligent eyes.

At this point, the screw no longer turns—it spins rapidly. It is being drilled with all possible vehemence.

Working at the BnF again today with a lovely first edition of Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" from 1862 with illustrations by her brother Dante Gabriel. So freaking excited to actually hold this in my hands and not just seeing it at an exhibition 🥰

This is a callout post for people who leave the entire fridge open while they take out and prepare food. This is extremely unnecessary and borderline evil.

Sometimes I like imagine and attempt to embody the physical/sensory experience of animals in varying degrees of classification to me. Monkey. Sheep. Bird. Starfish. Worm.

One of my fave bits from college is when I walked into the dining hall with my friends holding a leaf shaped like a Plumbob over my head and started speaking Simlish. I’ve never played Sims.
