Today's reminder that resistance is the only way through authoritarianism. Spotted today in Rome: las mariposas, the Mirabal Sisters, whose fight against Trujillo's dictatorship in DR cost them so much, but whose memory we still hold up to the light. ¡Que vivan!

Went axe throwing last night to celebrate the fact that I've been tenured and also to work out some of the rage I feel at the haters who tried to stop me from getting it. That's a story for another day... but for now: I got tenure, yall!

Gave a book talk today at UT Law where I was a law student many years ago. My respondent, Sandy Levinson, was one of my MA/JD thesis advisors. Full circle moment for me!

#AHA2025 has been a blast. I'm grateful to wonderful colleagues for their support of my work. And I finally got the obligatory picture of myself holding my book at the @uncpress.bsky.social book table. (And it was already sold!) Thank you to all who have purchased and read it!!
