i’d always say nice things about Toer’s Buru tetralogy but Tohari’s Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk trilogy really shaped my worldview, politics, and ethics.

idk why my HS lit teachers didn’t assign the classics to us, both prob bc they’re just so leftist in nature ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

another I learned: I can be whoever I want really, can easily pose as a prospie for the free drinks, but can also commiserate about the dismal job market with late stage grad students, and most importantly talk about pedagogy with “the adults”
what I learned after my first national conference is it’s ok to skip things bc I need to regroup (read: do my paint by sticker in silence)

my new flight got delayed with shorter connecting time and I have to teach 3 classes tomorrow

(seeing all the ams tea posts from the comfort of my hotel room while sipping the free wine I snatched from UT reception)

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.
Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
