Dolly Parton was just so damn kind. She was a teacher. She didn’t have to be so kind. She was talented, smart, gorgeous and successful. She grew up dirt poor in Appalachia and was proof you can just be kind.

Needed this as I am overthinking my new faculty role in an all white department in an academic space where I absolutely deserve to be. Thanks, @profkori.bsky.social

“Obsessing over whether a person of color deserves a spot prevents everyone from noticing that white people get and keep positions without needing to be impressive at all.”

Not the Passing Pope.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Oh wow! I need to hear her do Baby Suggs sermon in The Clearing. My only reference is Beah Richards, who was genius as always.

Morrison recorded the audio version of quit a few of her novels and was a wonderful reader. She makes you lean forward.

Now I’m so goddamn sick. I taught my 8am with a fever and I will never do that again. Also, I wish I had bought popsicles on my way home.

So many of my students have been sick all week and I just coughed for the first time.

Solution: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I need to find a breakfast that I don’t have to cook, isn’t something I have to get at a restaurant or cafe, and can sustain me until 2pm(after my 11am lecture). Also, test driving bringing my own coffee to campus since my options are Starbucks or the museum cafe that is $7 a latte.

I’m teaching at a new university this semester and to obtain a parking decal so I don’t get a ticket, I have to go to the police station. I’m sitting in this small town police station and wondering why HR isn’t handling this?

She should promote everyone’s movies to have a reason to do more interviews.

I could literally listen to Keke Palmer talk all damn day. The CACKLE I just let out. "Defying Gravity"...a slave hymn? 😂

It has been consistently below freezing for 2 weeks. Please wrap this shit up.

A lobe of the polar vortex, a stormy ring that typically keeps the coldest air locked up near the North Pole, will dip southward into the United States this weekend into next week.

I start teaching at a new college today and as a treat I decided to get a coffee instead of making it at home(resolution). This little town where the school is located has one coffeehouse and the only cold brew is lavender flavored. 😩🙃 I’ll never get coffee here again.

Seduce the husband while she’s performing. And put her ass in jail for battery and destruction of property for the last situation.

Carrie Underwood will perform at Trump’s inauguration, Fox News reports. She will perform ‘America the Beautiful.’

It should be illegal to purchase a seat for a child on a plane without the guardian in the next seat. It should be especially illegal to ask people to switch seats with you so can sit next to your child.
