Sometimes I feel like a true academic, like when, less than a day before a talk, I finally have inspiration hit and so now I'm only getting 3 hours of sleep before my flight out tomorrow.

My neighbor's improvised music on pieces of metal is a headache at all times of the day, but there's something particularly egregious hearing him bang around on a metal milk can at 4 AM.

I am calling for a moratorium on new tote bags. We all have more than enough tote bags already. Stop giving me tote bags at conferences. I do not want or need any more tote bags.

Third year of teaching at UWM, fourth year of teaching full-time as a professor, eighth year teaching at the college-level, and I still get first day jitters and can't sleep. #academicsky

Working with denim and canvas is no joke but this was such a breeze to make. @helenscloset.bsky.social #SamApron Really considering making them for our graduating students, especially with how easy they are to customize and stash bust. #sewsky

It is 2:30 AM and I can hear my neighbor playing his gong. This is an all-the-time event, but 2:30 in the morning feels even more egregious than 10am or 10pm (other gong-hours). This man is single-handedly making me hate the concept of sound baths.

#sewsky follow me on Threadloop! It reminds me so much of Ravelry for knitting projects and community, I'm very excited about it and I've been adding all my sewing thoughts there:

I really wanted to make something for myself this week and REALLY wanted to do this project quickly, so she's not as good as she could be but it's my first time making the #jaqstudiowoolfork dress, and my first dress more generally! Excited to do this pattern again as a shirt.

Intro to Deaf Studies. It was really my first time learning about Deaf culture and really having my eyes opened.
What was your favorite early clas NOT in your eventual major. Mine was Ethnomusicology: an introduction to folk music.
I invariably get, "Ooh anthro that was my favorite class/cool professor" from people I meet. I tend to think soms of it is our outré material, being willing to talk "taboo" subjects in a cross-cultural context.

Ironically MY favorite class was probably Geology 101...

Made Robert some #ThreadTheoryJedidah shorts! I learned quite a bit with these, including adding a zipper and fly. Hoping they hold up to the summer wear!

The era of institutionalization was rife with horror, and deinstitutionalization + the rise of community care has allowed millions to live more independently with dignity over decades

I hate these eugenicist fascists with every drop of blood in me

I saw this painting in May at her show at the Whitney. It is huge, beautiful, and clearly standing up for Black trans and gender non-conforming folks. Good on Sherald for this. She is an icon and her works matter more than cow-towing to this administration.

Local politics make me want to curl up in a ball and die what do you MEAN this is what you're doing in the job?? Arguing for your own parking spot? The aldermans are all jokes, you can't tell me this matters at all in a city with real problems.
