I hope Edward Said haunts the fuck out of this place

Columbia might have just destroyed itself smdh

This isn’t a real school anymore, it’s simply pretending to be one. I won’t be setting foot on that campus again. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Long time no see bluesky

First rejection of the new year 🎊🥲🎊

Hair is doing things, skin is moisturized, I am unemployed after March.

Twitter is back to its meme game peak rn

He is now free… Syria’s longest-serving detainee, “Ragheed Al-Tatri,” has been released after 43 years of imprisonment. He was moved through several prisons, ending up in Tartous Central Prison, and was freed with the last group of detainees following the fall of the tyrant Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Coordinating time zones that are currently 13.5 hours apart requires creative solutions (not sleeping) so I can call my parents when they're free so they can wish me

31

Officially 31 tomorrow ...

Took the break part of thanksgiving break seriously and recovered some of my lost spirits with good company and good food. Back to grading and writing and holding up my piece of sky.

Fondant potatoes with rosemary, Jalapeño Mac

Making Jalapeño Mac and Cheese, and fondant potatoes for Friendsgiving tomorrow. Busy busy day ahead.

The anthropology dept at the U of Washington (my dept!) is hiring an assistant professor specializing in racial & social justice, equity, access & decolonization, at the intersection of Black, African American, and/or Global Black Diaspora Studies. Please share widely: apply.interfolio.com/158822

seeking for a mid theory collective project: film critics, film scholars, film aficionados with strong opinions about or interpretations of the 2025 best picture front runners! if this is you, dm me 😈

Currently cold-emailing everyone I can think of on campus for spring quarter funding. The UC teaching quarter cap might actually make my already bad mental health worse.

My left kidney for a good rumali roti in delivery distance 😭

Co-signed by a fellow Sag.

highly problematic that i cannot send screenshots in DMs on this website

It is cold. It is wet. I have napped three times already, and am in bed for the fourth. When will my husband return from war

I better get a tenure track job, just so I can work on the five different book ideas I have rattling around in my skull like it's a pinball machine

We're working on it! :) @emdigit.bsky.social

Calling myself Janus every time I work on two research areas (aka all the time)

If you're following me, and don't know my brand from Twitter...good luck. I say all kinds of things, and you are my conditionally captive audience.

My right foot's freezing, my left foot is snug. Both are under a blanket. This is the object of my contemplation, my roman empire.

I envy the contemporary lit (post 18th c) academics for doing so much collaborative work, when all I do in groups is vent, rage, rave, and ramble

Dear god they're making dual factor authentication for the university even more complicated and annoying

They added timers to these trainings so 2x speed doesn't help. I WANT TO DROWN IN A LAKE OF MY OWN TEARS

Might do a rapid cycle of all my HR trainings tonight because they keep snitch-tagging my supervisor

I NEED soft block to be an option on this site.

Not perfect, but it tastes okay and is adequate for a first attempt.

Baking my first ever focaccia. Really hoping it works. 😭

Omg SUSIE DENT IS HERE
