Art historian @ Tulane. Working on visual, material and built cultures of early modern Northern Europe, the Spanish empire and the Dutch Atlantic. Never too busy for a happy hour. My employer really wants me to note: all these views are mine not theirs.

My most GenX quality (I’m an Xennial I think) is the fact I love long phone calls w folks I love. Just spent couple hours catching up w one of my besties and I wish timezones and well, life allowed for this all the time. I want to lay on the floor and chat like we did in middle school.

Here is is, from Bryan Stevenson @eji.org.
What's wrong with "heroic history?"
"It’s like saying, 'I’m going to the doctor, but I’ve already instructed my doctor, Don’t give me any bad news' ... if you don’t want to be sick... you have to be willing to hear the truth of your condition."

Everything is better with hot sauce. My personal motto.

Stephanie Porras @periodeye.bsky.social · 2d

Realized I have the following in my fridge: chili crisp, Sambal olek, sriracha, tapatio, Frank’s red hot, cholula, yellow bird habanero hot sauce, crystal, el yucateco green habanero and a Vietnamese hot sauce for seafood. This is an entire shelf in the door. I may have a problem.
