Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is psychotic. Nothing’s changed. Her so-called turn around into some degraded form of humanity is calculated to distract. She is MAGA. We should rub her face in the shit she has said and the havoc she has wrought for the rest of her miserable fucking life. No mercy. None.

“Teaching” Trouillot tomorrow and we should just read it out loud line by line. I’m not teaching it. I’m just marveling at the language and his brilliance. It’s hard to teach something when every time someone says something about it you just shake your head and scream, “right?!”

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is gorgeous. Lots to think about and I’ll need to see it again. It’s not a perfect film but I could not take my eyes off the screen. He is a masterful director.

I don’t know my neighbors, and I don’t wanna know my neighbors, really. They have expressed no interest in knowing me either. I have no idea what languages they speak. All I know is during the winter time we try to shovel each other‘s walkway.
