Happy Monday, teachers. Waking up to this world requires requires: 1. A good set of GenZ headphones; 2. Some good tunes to walk across campus; and 3. A Carrboro type fleece because your good coat, which you found, was left in your office. Hang in there. #resist

Timeline cleanse. Thanks to my secret admirer. It's a race to save what may be left of academic freedom. Thanks to so many doing much heavier lifts on this issue in these early days of 2025. We're going to need all the chocolate and caffeine we can find.

Dark times require a timeline cleanse, a 90 year old papa in his favorite market and dark chocolate.

When you're next to some rockstars from your past life. Really noticing how fast the time is passing now and a growing desire to fight harder, whatever it takes.

I've got a small group of students looking for some hope ahead so we're doing an informal reading group....we'll start with @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social 's Hope in the Dark, ever quotable and helpful in these dark days. If you'd like to join us at UNC, let me know.
