I’m struck by the shape of her hair-head helmet perfectly mirrors the shape and size of those puff sleeves. Fascinating proportions. If an accident, it’s a wild one. If it’s intentional, it’s wild.

This slaps hard. When white men compose complex music its 'vigorous, exciting, thrilling, complex.' When BIPOC composers do it we 'dont know what we're doing, its undeveloped, its needlessly challenging, we're asking for too much.'

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Not once have i seen in all of these budget cuts across the country (including my uni) pay cuts at the senior admin level. Who the fuck NEEDS to make $800k+ a year? Or $500k or $200k? Pay is regularly frozen for faculty and front line staff while sr. admin pay rises and theres no fucking oversight.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
