This semester has been one of the best teaching semesters of my life and it's almost entirely because of going 90%+ to pen and paper.
My students are fully doing it, without complaint, and it's beautiful. They're actually reading. They're writing weird shit. They're being brave.

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.
I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but how much you publish or whether you've finished that book or achieved ___ only matters in your own head. Anyone else who has thoughts about your productivity can fuck off.
This guilt or shame is yours and you can let it go.
This is art, not a finish line.

No specific questions here, but I'd love to hear any and all thoughts about anti-anxiety medications and a decrease in motivation.
Oof, y'all. Striving for balance and failing.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?
