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.

Hey Philly folks, Our chief of police made some bold statements about arresting 🧊 if they come to Philly, but PPA is granting $53,000 in free parking for 🧊.
Time to call those local reps.

The national archives finally sent the requested paperwork, and now, THIRTY YEARS after she was buried, my mother’s headstone will bear her military rank. Fucking finally!!

2026, I'll be living two lives (even though I'm not a Gemini): Margo Hendricks, aka MargoH, and Elysabeth Grace. MargoH will be primarily on BlueSky with her shenanigans. By the way, re my www.gofundme.com/f/support-ma...: the MFs were found guilty of 2nd degree homicide. Still need aid.

First day of the semester so of course I inexplicably woke up at 4am. Sure.

Former SOUTH PARK writer Toby Morton got an angry letter from Trump’s lawyers because he registered the Trump-Kennedy Center domain names (check out www.trumpkennedycenter.org 😃) and his response is 100% Pure 2026 ⭐️

Only time I’ve ever needed stitches was because of a paper cut. 🤣
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Politicians introduced 96 bills targeting transgender student athletes in 2025.

That’s more than 9x the number of trans people playing college sports nationally.

Okay, all my spring courses are prepped, lesson planned, and powerpointed, which means! I can take a beak! Until next year! And then come back and finish revisions on my book before the semester starts!!

The inspiration ➡️ the result. Been thinking about this one for several years and hyped to finally have it!

Okay, fall grades are in and I have a complete syllabus for one of my three spring courses (women's resistance literature). Now I get to do the fun work of lesson planning and powerpointing that course before moving to the next one!

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.
