Now Listing:

Things I'd like to maybe start a Kickstarter for:

A big bed of sesame seeds build in a storefront window, whose window is covered in reflective paper, in which I can lay down to rest my wear bones for a bit and napsnack my way back out into the world cocoon style.
Visa fees for every Muslim in the world to come to the US mostly because it would be way more peaceful likely although we'd have to have a conversation about the necessity of bacon.
Someone who is paid CEO-level salary + great bennies just to follow me around (union workday hours is cool) and run my feet and legs and shoulders and hands and back and basically all of my body parts as needed like always.
Honeybee husbandry.
Mandatory, heavily stipended coursework for the entire western world on gaining an understanding of, and the language for, a real conversation on race, class, culture, gender, history, and the end of capital. With cookies and juice.
That orgasm machine from that Woody Allen movie from when he made funny movies before he was a known sexual predator. I don't know that I need to raise funds for mass production. I basically just need one and a backup.
One more orgasm machine to rent-out by the minute because then I'd never have to crowdfund anything ever again.
An American Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Televised live with social media access points ala periscope, twitter, etc.
Basically just more cats.

Now Gramming:

"We're fine. We're just fine. As a family we are A-OK!!"

"Be bold! Be brave! Be courageous! Speak up! And find a way to get in the way!" Rep. John Lewis to the 2017 graduating class at @Yale law about the work 50 years ago, and what to do about the fact that we are *still* fighting the same fight today.

#RENNFAYRE!!! "Soon it will be Renn Fayre and I am not going to kiss you because I'm a professor and boundaries."

#OnTheShelf These books have been on this ledge in some formation or another this whole semester. I hate to say goodbye to them. I'd kinda like to read them all together myself as, one assumes, the Good Indigenous Lord of Physics intended.

Wandering the halls...SCIENCE! 👊🏾 #themoreyouknow🌈 #blackhistorymonth #todayatreed #blackandstem

Lighting up the night on Broadway!

What a great night.

January 25, 2016

Thanks to Poets on Broadway, Kevin Craft, David Biespiel, and the folks at Antoinette Hatfield Hall--and EVERYONE who came out tonight! What fun. What good times. What great drinks. What poetry. #swoon
