I found the best muffin in Chicago this week and that is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Two of my secret weapons for the first day of the menstrual phase (under $5)

1) a journal from TJ Max
2) cinnamon tea for cramps (works better than advil!)

Happy inner Winter!

Right so we can't refer to countries as an entity- "China" is a construct as much as the US.

If you are referring to the recent growth in wealth in China- that has to do with Deng Xiaoping's economic policies which were the complete opposite to Mao's

But yeah- our job is damage reduction

Is the current political situation making you feel small? I suggest you go somewhere where you feel even smaller.

Big trees are comforting. Hug one.

Flashback to the redwoods in the California coast.

Like Trump, Mao also had "great ideas" about the production of steel.

Mao commanded the entire economy to produce steel and called it the "Great Leap Forward"

This resulted in the Great Famine- a catastrophe

Also- Mao did the same thing with the "Great Leap Forward" - he directed the whole economy to produce steel.

This ended up with the Great Famine. One of the most catastrophic events in world history.

As the academy is under attack I will try to be more transparent about our work. You guys don't respond well to highlighted text so I will instead show you pictures of scholars and tell you if they are hot.

This is Erik Erikson- coined the term "identity crisis"

Verdict: I would 🧵

Stumbled upon this quote from George Bernard Shaw while brushing up on Erickson's work on identity crisis...

Made you guys a cute image to remind you that it is okay if you don't fit in

This is from My Fair Lady- an adaptation of Shaw's Pygmalion

I remember watching this on Netflix when it came out….

It might or might not have influenced my sense of belonging in academia 💅🏽

All I am saying is that Hannah was cool and she was my Legally Blonde moment 💕

I am not objectifying Hannah Arendt.

You are objectifying Hannah Arendt.

I am simply leaving this picture here where she is serving you most dapper academic chic.

Mark you once again fail to see the historical parallels to Nazi Germany.

We cannot let Nazis dictate our national agenda.

Reactionary colorblind and genderblind nonsense is not political strategy.

Their objective is not efficiency. Read Hannah Arendt I beg of you

This Sunday I will be performing my poetry at the Green Mill in Chicago.

It’s an open mic that you can also join! Just get there at 2pm to put your name in.

I will be performing a poem about men in love called:

“Hunters”

From my series:

So the woman who spoke was actually a Kamala Harris supporter. Her name is @adeferro.bsky.social

She was explaining why some Venezuelans voted for Trump.

But yes of course there are Venezuelans who support Trump and don’t understand what you are saying

So it turns out that the Venezuelan woman who has been shown all over social media as being MAGA is actually a Kamala Harris supporter.

It seems that NPR misrepresented her words.

She was explaining how Venezuelan immigrants were fooled into voting for Trump- not excusing it.

Here are the basics of lobbying:

Yes, we are all calling. Did you read it?

Unless you are physically present, cursing will not be more effective than the basics of lobbying.

Curse if you must!

I am picking up on a stream of puritanical evangelical politic targeting women.

Pattern: A progressive trying to help (i.e. Kamala) is not "X": so she is evil: burn her

Instead of focusing on the current threat people continue to burn the witch.

The witch is dead. We are all burning. Move on.

Hope all #Oscars fans read the racist tweets from Karla Sofia Gascon

People from #Spain have a pretty terrible racism and identity problem.

They appropriate reggaeton (yes Rosalia too), insert themselves into #Latino culture, deny genocide, and then make themselves the victims.
