Among the rare pleasures of having poor vision: misreading blurry signs as my inmost self desires to. Today: "Our Lady of the Holy Shits."

Apparently I'm growing papaya and musk melon by accident (seeds left in the compost last year).

Just wept through that Top Chef semifinal. Ant fucking togarashi on cabbage. Tom going "I love my job."

Something I am realizing is that when people say "I just need an hour of your time," what they mean is "3 to 4 hours" and because I work at the snailiest of paces, that's anywhere from 6 to 12 hours of labor from me.

I have translated a book of poems from French! It is appearing from Roof Books in September! The poet is the wonderful Baptiste Gaillard (baptistegaillard.com)!

Book cover against blue background. Cover reads "In the Realm of Motes Baptiste Gaillard Translated by Aditi Machado." Cover image is of artwork by Gaillard.

I would like to punch someone very hard for claiming my punctuation is inconsistent when I made an actual document with a list of rules to follow and then read the text aloud three times to check against the rules.

Trying to send "energy" to the poet I translate from French ... does not seem to work en français ...

OK, this piece hit them HARD--in a good way. Hard-recommend this essay for writing students who are struggling for any number of reasons. Also for being a writer in a neoliberal institution where everything is "what's the deliverable?" There are no fucking deliverables! I have a PDF.

Students struggling to write toward the end of the semester ... time for them to read some Anne Boyer. :) "What is "Not Writing"?" yeah?

Can't believe I get to eat my mama's goat curry in my ugly campus office. Normally I eat the saddest food in here.

Incredible conversation with my class abt @brandonshimoda.bsky.social 's HYDRA MEDUSA. You can bet they're (a) mad thrilled they get to read a book like this; & (b) mad mad that fuckers want to outright eliminate discussion of texts that, as one student put it, tells it like it was and is.

There is no such thing as a "sheet pan curry." It's a sheet pan something, but it's not a curry.
