Really wish I could unwatch that bridge collapse video. Don’t click. 💔

This!

Definitely French fries and grilled cheese are needed to celebrate!

There are regular Friday December 15ths & then there are “your application for faculty development leave has been approved” Friday December 15ths. First sabbatical in 12 (endlessly challenging) years since the PhD. I have no words.

Truly fantastic NCA— so grateful to have been program planner for ECS this year & to everyone who pitched, presented, and engaged with ECS panels!

This sounds fantastic!

I poached too! 😇

The REAL “Dark Academic” Influencer! Target should prob pay you to consult. 🤔

Agreed some of this is a strettttttch. Also really a “dark academia” line could probably better reflect our real nihilism and malaise. Flasks designed to look like computer cables. Jewelry with hidden pill compartments for Prozac and Xanax. Etc.

If I hadn’t just accidentally ordered mmm… let’s say *several* leather skirts from elsewhere, before I realize how well Target was intuiting my dark, dark academic heart, I would be too!

Not going to lie, I am legit fixing to acquire that little electric kettle.

Dark Academia is wistfully in session. Delve into the high arts this fall. Expand your mind—and your wardrobe—with brooding reads, potent brews and scholarly threads to fully embrace this classic trend.

In which Target not only vibe checks us, my fellow dark academics, but also makes us “wistfully” relevant. Now *that* is service.

I loved it

So lucky to be at the Manhattan screening of this unbelievably beautiful film tonight. ❤️❤️❤️

I mean, more wing is in no way superior to less wing. Just ask chicken wing connoisseurs. Or body builders. Or long sleeves.

In which my 6ft+ wingspan is once again inexplicable. 🤣

In which my 6ft + wingspan is explained.

You take those lights *out*, DL.

“We Cannot Cross Until We Carry Each Other” The editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents on recommitting to our movements in this moment.

Thus is an extraordinary piece of writing.

"We cannot cross until we carry each other,
all of us refugees, all of us prophets.
No more taking turns on history’s wheel,
trying to collect old debts no-one can pay."
