It’s the UK publication day for the New Oxford Shakespeare Titus Andronicus, featuring my critical introduction on theatrical innovation, rape, race, politics, and how the play has always forced audiences to confront their relationship with Shakespeare. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I realize something today. No matter where I am, even in a grocery store, if “Walk like an Egyptian“ comes on over the loudspeakers, I will dance. 🤭

So dismayed to find so many people freaking out over the crazy shit. You do know that’s exactly what they want you to do. We went through this eight years ago. Ignore the crazy, pay attention to the policy.

I usually post joys but today it’s a warning . I received an Aura frame for Christmas. It constantly goes off-line and shows the same pictures over and over again. Would not recommend.
