Maybe not what you’re thinking, but Paula Gunn Allen’s The Sacred Hoop could be a cool text for this.

For a second I thought it’d be Rear Window, but Jaws is the winner, hands down. I will watch any Jaws film any time it’s on.

When it finally happens I’m gonna need #Atlanta to pop off, bc I’ll be in the kitchen ironing. Not clothes…fuse beads. This is my lot in life now.
A counter full of fuse bead creations, including a rabbit-dumpling, an axolotl, shark, and German Shepherd.

I meant it innocently enough (just wanted a gentle needling of the patriarchy), but I fear my search for “feminist Halloween inflatables” might trigger an unwanted industry. #feminism #genderstudies #halloween

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

Atlanta Public Schools is closing our kids’ local elementary and combining it with another. At recent meetings we’ve found out we’ve been severely underfunded bc Invest Atlanta uses public ed $ (via something called TADs) like their discretionary fund. And we can’t vote them out—they’re appointed.

Was recently reminded that I successfully defended my dissertation 10 years ago and just found my degree…still unopened.
Black document tube with Auburn University’s official logo stamped on it—still unopened. In the background is a cool piece of art I got in Vancouver, British Columbia with pale, blues and greens and a voodoo sketches

Who decided to memorialize zombie George Washington?
