I don’t even know where to begin with what it means to be without Nikki Giovanni.
Dear Nikki, Grappling with your work brought out the best writing I have ever done.
You were a Martian, born in Knoxville, TN. May you rest in peace, #NikkiGiovanni.

New book recommendation!
Sky Full of Elepjants is a beautifully written, heartfelt story of generational trauma, the legacies of white supremacy, and remaking the world anew. Highly recommend! Thanks @simonbooks.bsky.social for my gifted copy!

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Sapphic vampire novella written a few decades before Dracula. Equally frustrating and fascinating. Highly recommend reading this version with Carmen Maria Machado’s commentary.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

I’m sitting in the lobby at an Urgent Care and am wearing a mask (because I’m clearly sick). Almost everyone else in here is also sick (sneezing, wheezing, coughing) and not a single one is masked.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Many libraries also have cultural passes, ie FREE tickets to local museums, etc that you can check out. Libraries are amazing. ✌🏻

I mentally blocked out November ‘16. How are people handling teaching right now? I’m getting some heart wrenching concerns from students and I’m really struggling to balance being honest with trying to keep their hopes up.

I won our 5th grade reading rainbow challenge and it’s still my favorite academic accomplishment (PhD? Meh).
I wasn't a band or theater kid, but I was a book kid and I think that still counts for something here.
