They are predicting that these severe may leave us without power for 4-5 days... and yet I somehow have to find the time and energy to write this 20 page paper and work amidst dealing with two straight days of potentially catastrophic weather. Great system we have built.

I don’t know that I’ll ever forgive myself for the ways that I’ve let academia and classism do irreparable harm to my dialect. I never have found out how to say what I need to say without losing it. Particularly in writing.

Reading poetry during Lent and thought I'd share a poem a day, starting with a favorite by English Jesuit Gerard Manley Hopkins.
