There is still more Council stuff to do today, but this had to be done ASAP after that (awesome, inspiring) water ceremony!

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

Just experienced an absolutely regenerative and wholesome blessing ceremony led by a local Hawaiian wherein we shared our collective water stories and intentions for @theAAG meeting, which officially commences tomorrow.💧💦 🌊 #aag2024

So grateful for the chance to pause and reflect before diving in.

No longer drinking? There are options for you

“These days, I think there are plenty of people, who do not have those strong countervailing reasons to not drink, that are choosing not to drink,” said Colleen Myles (@fermentedlands), #TXST associate prof. https://t.co/YN9D0pZ6Yt

In a week (4/10 at 12 eastern) I'll be giving a talk in the
@CitiesAtTufts series! Tune in to hear about the racial politics and political economy of gastrodevelopment in Tucson, AZ (i.e., using food culture as strategy of urban development). Register: https://t.co/omF7Pc8VyB

We are at Taproom—with a bunch of others. Join us!

Sadly, we are not able to make it to the @txst bowl game in person. Where is local watch party? Who is hanging where in #smtx to feel the Bobcat team spirit??

Me and my 4yo riding around on our new ride on this gorgeous, sunny Christmas Eve day and she pipes up: “It’s a sunny day today, but it is going to snow ❄️ tomorrow because it’s Christmas! 🎄”

@katiedimartin ❤️

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

After a long series of problems that ultimately led to a cracked frame, the original (e-)bike had to go. 😢 However, we have now been re-fitted with a @Benno Bike 🚲 by Galaxy Bicycles, and so far so good—even though our inaugural ride was in the rain 🌧️ ! She loves to ride!! 🤩

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

@christen_rexing But what brand????

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

The biennial Perugia Food Conference (2024), where I will (fingers crossed) be presenting, "Kings and queens: Sagrantino and Sangiovese in and out of place in Italy and beyond." See you there? https://t.co/6YnWVRP79H #food #geography @umbrainstitute

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

I applied for one small and two large (by my standards) grants/awards this round. I did not get either of the large ones, but I *did* get the small one. So, I'll take the win and dust myself off to try again next time for the others. Onwards and upwards!

What Does Equity In (Fine) Wine Look Like?

Colleen C. Myles (@fermentedlands), an assoc. prof. in #TXST’s Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, writes that equity may be hard to achieve in a space designed to create distinction and difference https://t.co/PGv2hvgDOe

[Colleen C. Myles-Baltzly @fermentedlands]

Nothing says "it's the holidays" quite like eating your neighbor's awesome zucchini bread for dessert! (And breakfast, too, of course.)
