I started today by thinking we were in the Spring 2027 semester for several hours: let's call that a taste of time travel and not a caffeinelos hallucination.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

❤️👏✊💙 Catalyst Studios is one of the coolest and most extraordinary things in our library! It may also be the only place on campus that's got students eagerly showing up to classes for/wch they don't get grades or a line on a transcript. There for the love of the learn. Miraculous!

I still don't know what "pretty, pretty, pretty, good" is. But my best guess? Some kind of moral philosophy version of "duck, duck, goose." Perhaps played at esoteric primary schools for the aspiring elite. I have decided that if it means anything else, I don't need to know about it.

Even though I think that's an MGA Roadster, and not a Lotus Elan, I see that car and I'm expecting Diana Rigg to pop out from behind a tree with an impractical firearm and a quip. I can almost hear the title sequence music now....

My health has taken a severe turn. I learned that my friends' neighbors have FIVE baby screech owls in their owl box and that another neighbor got to help band them... so naturally I've died of avian envy. I walk among you, a bird-preoccupied ghost. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉

@swpaca.bsky.social The Pub Quiz trivia night was a rollicking good time and a wonderful way to get to meet even more folks. I can't wait to do it again next year (and hopefully win!).

I don't want to make anyone jealous but I did just attend a really fun Medievalisms panel. Came for Gawain [hold your puns], stayed for art history, conservation, sci fi, and "horsey god." 👏👏👏👏

Ok. I'm coming to this conference every year as long as I have funding. Super diverse panel selection, deep thinking pedagogy presentations, fascinating research being shared, and such a good-natured vibe all round. #SWPACA

#SWPACA is excellent. So far I have attended a panel on AI which was electrifying and so necessary for our current "ed tech moment." And a panel of brilliant undergrad and grad students doing queer, intersex, trans, archival research. An auspicious start to a huge conference.

What a joyful struggle: there are too many panels I wish to attend, of course running concurrently, and my time turner license has expired.

So, my research right now is divided into chunks. Life writing and pop culture together constitute one of the biggest chunks. So you can imagine how totally excited I am for the SW Popular | American Culture Assoc. Conference this week. It's STACKED with juicy panels.

How much progress have we not made because bad behavior was overlooked, "given grace," or excused away? How much incredible, thought-provoking, or just plain fun art have we missed out on because we just couldn't fathom a world without Woody, Roman, and Bill?

Yes. This. I've been thinking a lot about individual exceptionalism, this idea that somehow it would be a "tragic loss" if even the hugely talented were held accountable. The truth is everything would be better. Another huge talent would take their place. And we'd lose so much less talent to the 🍆🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

I'm generally opposed to banning things but these "protein" snake oil products need to be banned. It's like no one has ever heard of aminos or bioavailability.

Weak, authority-hungry people tend to communicate in predictable ways. Demand attention, puff up their thin "expertise," threaten with whatever they can, cry injustice or whine to bureaucracy when told no.

Claudette Colvin's story is one of the most poignant, powerful stories I've ever heard. I admired her very much. Never ever forget how fellow activists turned their backs on her for being pregnant and unmarried. When the moment came, she was ready.

Living in the desert has taught me a lot about life, ecology, resources, community, beauty, myself, and much more. My perspective has evolved since I left the tropics 🦩🏝️. Life in the desert continues to be a transformative experience. Also it was 70° and sunny today and I love that for me. 🌵☀️😎☀️🌵
