For the Mid-Autumn Festival, I translated the 17th century failson, epicure, and memoirist Zhang Dai's account of the annual Mid-Autumn singing competition on Tiger Hill in Suzhou. www.burninghou.se/p/mid-autumn...

We have a new Sinologist community on Discord - membership has a brief application & isn't *totally* open (it's professional in nature), but if you've been looking for a China group outside of bsky/Facebook/Twitter, this might be the ticket. discord.gg/g6S8WbVW

Sleeping Wumbum, for anyone who needs it (she only barks when she’s dreaming)

Got our static commission for this tier done, it's PERFECT! (we wanted Yellowstone roadtrip vibe)

I'm giving a talk at UC Irvine on Oct. 6 on my mountaineering stuff - it'll also be on Zoom & posted to Youtube later. I'll do more promo as the date nears, but isn't this a good poster? I'm going to ask one of our office staff to print me off a copy so I can put it on my office door.

Wumbum. I cannot explain how much I adore her.

Maggie Greene @mcgreenesd.bsky.social · Jul 3

Can’t blame you for coddling her, she is precious!

Maggie Greene @mcgreenesd.bsky.social · Jun 30

She’s still my everything.

Things I love about BZN: mountains, not really pictured here but they’re impossible to ignore; the fact I don’t worry about locking my car or house; the way summer storms look when they’re rolling in.

Still clocking along & still the cutest chonk to ever chonk.

Maggie Greene @mcgreenesd.bsky.social · May 22

Up late & can’t sleep, getting some reading done while this chonk slumbers

Chonkchonk is best raid buddy.

I sometimes wonder why my iPad has slime on it. This is why.

I wish I could adequately explain how much I love her, but I can’t.

Cleared the new Extreme with that static; everyone’s decked out in the finest of Mingmom Couture.

Maggie Greene @mcgreenesd.bsky.social · Mar 27

Would that we were all as chill & unbothered as Wumbum.

A favorite former student inquired about my favorite ‘aesthetic,’ I responded by saying I found that a weird question but sent photographs to illustrate what I think my aesthetic is. This one is most representative: Austrian porcelain horses, Chinese propaganda & Suzanne Farrell.

We cleared the 24 man savage raid on the last pull of the last session for us. It was fun (and aptly named - a lot of chaos!), but I’m glad to be getting back to normal 8 man savage in a week! I have no idea how ppl raid with such big groups in WoW.

Maggie Greene @mcgreenesd.bsky.social · Mar 18

I wouldn’t say it’s disrespectful, she just slaps (our WHM dropped dead to the first raidwide with no mit - my co-lead intentionally didn’t feint just to make everyone who hadn’t seen her before understand how hard she slaps in savage)

Managed to clear M3S with @dapneym.bsky.social and @mcgreenesd.bsky.social! Made prog on M4S, but the beginning of that fight is brutal.

My sprouts are soooooo close to an M3S clear, I think if we hadn’t had a surprisingly early maintenance, we might’ve done it tonight!

Chaotic continues to be absolute chaos (I’m amazed glad ‘normal’ high end content in XIV requires 8 ppl at most). Theme this week was Men in Black.
