Strange to see Texas A&M advertising a tt job in literary studies with an emphasis on literary rep of gender and sexuality just after they fired a faculty member for discussing “gender ideology.” (Obviously this wasn’t a departmental decision, but I can’t imagine who would want this job).

Finally watching Conclave. I was going to make a joke about how it doesn’t pass the Bechdel test, but it seems like about a million people beat me to it.

Horrific news. One of the directors of Oscar winning documentary “No Other Land” was lynched by Israeli settlers and arrested. Absolutely fuck this genocide.

Happy 3rd bday (part 2) to my big hearted poodley Pisces- Pickles!
Living with a dog feels like a project of love and earnestness. Guiding them in a world not made for them is a practice of humility and attentiveness. I’m so glad he let me into his secret world and share his sweet life.

Today marks three years of full scale invasion. In lieu of finding more words to articulate the cost of this war against Ukrainian sovereignty and life- I’ll share a poem by the late Victoria Amelina, who was killed in July 2023 by a russian shell. Trans. by @uilleamblacker.bsky.social

Here are some selections from Mikhailov's aforementioned blue series—Kharkiv, Ukraine, from 1991-1993, just after the Soviet Union's collapse.

Grateful for such a thoughtful and hopeful #ASEEES this year. I’m reminded each year of what warm, caring, brilliant colleagues I have in the field.
