i’m curious. how would i find out how many emeritus/ae/x there are in the States? And who we be by cultural communities? i just was named #emerita cool. i’m curious about the numbers. throughout my academic career i’ve often felt lonely; it would be great to know others.

this morning, atl city council voted to fund #copcity as many of us expected they would.

which is why i addressed my comments not to the snakes that mock democracy; but to you, the people of atlanta. to remind you that we have all the power to #StopCopCity

beloved italians. there is no music that is good enough for a mother to say, play on, when the baby wakes up.

rather, i am now conjuring a curse on your keys and drum kits … though i personally like the music.

viareggio. it’s sleepy time.
