this coming week, i start three weeks of infusions, four hours each. the prep for them has made me crazy. i don’t know if i’ve ever been this tired & lethargic (having my period doesn’t help) but this is all to hopefully help me get better & that’s good

calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. wearing sackcloth & walking barefoot to your friend’s tomb & then getting whipped by monks as public penance does.

This morning, Leonard Peltier was released from over 49 years of wrongful incarceration. Peltier is an enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and will reside on his Tribal homelands in North Dakota.

At whose coming all men will rise

i think people (democrats) wanted to deal with Trump like they would any other bad president. but he’s declared he’s a king, now. so deal with him like how Americans deal with those who declare themselves kings over them.

Erika is once again the MVP of this episode, girl you better hang back & eat that hot dog 😆 #rhobh

North Carolinians mark Presidents’ Day with protests at State Capitol (photo gallery) ncnewsline.com/briefs/north...

today has been one of my worst allergy days…ever? (i thankfully avoided one of my students seeing me thrash about in the store) i have taken everything & finally went for the big guns — benadryl — & it’s making a dent but my body’s not going down without a fight 🤧

god i have so many. a real pragmatic one was because of a weird thing Duke was implementing w 6th year funding, i ended up having no funding for my last semester. like the diss was done, i just needed to defend. my advisor convinced the dept to fund my last semester, never told me 💗

i’m watching Weezy right now on SNL 50 & remembering how my students told me last week that it should have been him at the Super Bowl & that Kendrick was mid??? i love my students but they’re deadass wrong 😆

an ingredient in my dinner was not good i think so now my dinner is…waffles. being an adult is great.

Now is a time we need to support each other in academia across disciplines, across universities: Those in fields not under attack, need to help those who are under attack Senior faculty need to support junior faculty Privileged faculty need to support marginalized faculty #academicsky

i found myself watching a lot of video commentary on various aspects of christian nationalism & culture last night & i don’t know why but i made me more enraged than normal, with a line running through my head: “all you claiming salvation with no works: you’re not Judea, you’re Rome.”

last night i dreamt re a story titled Aquilae (the story doesn’t matter too much) & now i’m watching Ben-Hur (my favorite movie) & doing what i always do when i get to this part which is google Al-Ta’ir (the best horse name) which is in the Aquila constellation w the Bayer nomenclature α Aquilae!

Silver Bullet or Jaws

hey men! don’t come up to women who are strangers & say “we’ve got a great president”! i don’t know if you were joking or not, hitting on me, or making small talk & frankly i do not care fuck you if you do this

the way i just crushed a whole chicken caesar salad from panera? i’ll be bleeding within the week 😆

so that was…an episode of drag race 😬

today’s victories: • my undergrad students positively GEEKED over AI singers • the same students are writing such interesting posts about the voice & body • one of my PhD students (English) got GREAT job news • i learned about it via the most chaotic phone call ever

"Special Issue: Music Theory in the Plural" is live! "Despite the diversity of musical thought across historical and cultural spaces, much of what is nominally titled “music theory” concerns only a small sliver of this intellectual tradition..." mtosmt.org/issues/mto.2...

the compliance in advance is getting real tired. AND THERE’S NO PRIDE WITHOUT TRANS WOMEN

some victories today: • one of our Master’s students got BIG PhD acceptance news today • my two advisees doing exams right now both independently told me that they’re enjoying them (!) • i had a brilliant baroque ensemble rehearsal • my colleague found a full set of crumhorns in a closet (?!)

Ben Sasse’s 17-month tenure at the University of Florida helm was marked by spending that far exceeded his predecessor’s. Now, a report from the state auditor shows many of the costs were unexplained when the investigators asked for details. chroni.cl/3Etg0Yb
