I have been trying to find the words for my joy and pride regarding Bad Bunny, but nothing in English or my limited Spanish can suffice. Just a phenomenal time to be Puerto Rican at this moment, even as a Diaspora Nuyorican!!! 🇵🇷

Unfortunately for the 12th graders, they are doing their Beowulf unit, and the lesson plan specifically includes a section where I am supposed to talk about early medieval England to my heart’s content.

Just wanted to clarify with the scare quotes around “American” in the previous thread referring to the bison: I mean the landmass not the colonial and imperial entity. I mean that this land is their land, not that the bison should be seen as part of the occupying cultures.

You may not have heard about the new policy from BLM regarding classifying bison: bison are no longer allowed to freely graze on public lands in MT. This is just the start, unfortunately.

A registered nurse was doing his duty to check on/care for a fellow human who had just been assaulted and ICE executed him on the street for it. That is America today, and for the foreseeable future, unless ICE is fully abolished.

ICE is murdering people unchecked in the streets. They are murdering people in the concentration camps. They are MURDERERS.

Every time a congressperson is denied access to an ICE facility no one can tell me why they didn’t show up with armed dudes actually loyal to the constitution and sledgehammers because it is the LAW they be granted access.

Just saw The Bone Temple. Ralph Fiennes and Erin Kellyman were fantastic; Jack O’Connell was levels of insane we have come to expect; and the actors who play Spike and Samson just do amazing and heartbreaking things with their faces.

Even though this is my serious business social media presence, it feels like lying by omission to not say that I have been crying every day. About everything. And everyone I love. And that is just the new normal, huh?

I saw a meteor this morning! First time not in a recurring “shower” so that was very cool. No one was talking about it online or at work, so I doubted myself, but Reddit eventually had a thread.
Space is cool and terrifying!!!!

Just fyi if I am ever confronted by ICE, I will calmly ask for a warrant and then try to leave if not presented with one, and, when they ultimately shoot me in the face anyway, please remember that whatever they said I did was a lie even if there is no video.

Hey rest of Europe, you’re making SPAIN, the OG colonizers, the people who raped and murdered their way across what is now Latin America, look like the one slightly reasonable regime on your continent!

The last thing I taught in my US history course was American imperialism in the 19thC. I hope my students were paying attention and have the critical thinking skills to make the connections.

Remember those little electronic disco balls from the late 90s? I am gonna put it on strobe and stand ominously in the corner while “All the Things She Said” plays on repeat to ring in the new year.

Drove into the city today, stepped out of the car, and 3 pigeons were eating a slice of pizza. Ahh New York.

“Muppet Christmas Carol” is the best Christmas movie, and it’s not even close IMO. Also, the Muppets are the greatest contribution to media in human history

“Frankenstein” is one of my favorite books, and I am absolutely devastated by the pitch perfect performances in the film. Tears for days.

So my honor society cords never came which was literally the only thing I was looking forward to about dragging myself downtown for grad tomorrow…as a former gifted child whose mental illness kept her from glory in high school and undergrad, I really needed the ego boost so badly.
