Early modernist; lit professor. Lover of stage directions, textual instability, revenge tragedies, rain, Star Wars, gravy, Oregon, banana slugs, seagulls, and beards! I support trans rights. Thoughts mine own.

Two weeks ago, my colleague Dr. Badar Khan Suri was ruled deportable by an immigration court. Badar and his family find themselves once again in a terrifying, opaque, and costly legal ordeal.

I know you wanted me to stay
But I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in LA
And I heard that there's a special place
Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day

I am not From Here, so I have never really cared about the Sheetz v Wawa rivalry. I prefer Wawa simply because it has a better name, but also: the Wawa Thanksgiving sub is unfathomably superior to the Sheetz version. #HotTake

It costs so little to believe in one’s students. And when students feel supported and encouraged, they do magnificent work. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Mary Baldwin University is embarking on drastic cuts of its liberal arts programme and of humanities subjects more generally.

A bad case of mishandled management, and colleagues and students will suffer as a result (including #AmericanShakespeareCenter!)

A thing that I would love that I kind of can’t believe no one has done yet is for a Taskmaster contestant to wear the same outfit as Alex. 😏

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Today is for catching up on marking. I've gone through about twenty assignments already, and I have another 99 left. Wish me luck!

I suppose campaign text messages must work at least a little, but I have never ever not once changed my mind about whether or not to vote based on a text message.

This skeet brought to you by living in a swing state and being annoyed by the constant texts. (Yes obvs I’m voting tomorrow.)
