“A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.”

In another life I was in a rock band. It’s been a few years since I’ve actively created my own music. The last nine months has been an exciting and scary adventure of coming back to something I thought I had lost. What’s an art or a skill that you have rediscovered?

A big thanks to John Paul Christy and the @ACLS1919 team for their presentation on the Melon/ACLS Dissertation Fellowship today. Your passion, professionalism, and care are much appreciated!
@CostnerEvan@AeonJarvis@DonnaDotPaella Not only that, but the jury found that her false statements were made with “malice.” According to the jury, Heard lied with the intent to hurt Depp.
