We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the successful launch event for Volume 2 of The Bard in the Borderlands.🩵 ¡Que viva Borderlands Shakespeare! ✨

Huge thanks to Colleen Hoelscher for organizing a wonderful class session on feminist bibliography using Trinity’s Shakespeare holdings in Special Collections. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, especially during a campus-wide internet outage!

Please share widely! My home is hiring. El Paso is a city beautiful beyond compare and this position of extreme importance for the borderland. Cant wait for this position 🙌🏾

I voted early, so I’m channeling all of my anxious energy into teaching and cooking for friends and neighbors. I can’t pretend to be hopeful in this terrifying moment, but I can do my part to nourish people today.

Election news worth celebrating!

None of this is surprising, but it is utterly terrifying.

What’s coming is chaos, confusion, and attacks on every issue you care about all at once. That’s the strategy — mass mayhem and distraction. Don’t let it work. Define your sphere of influence: where you can have an impact, work on that, strengthen/build relationships.

If you’re inclined to quote Shakespeare today, don’t.

Next Week!

It's an honor for my essay on the revitalization of the Samala Chumash language and José Cruz González's Invierno to appear in this collection alongside so many wonderful scholars. Congratulations to Dympna Callaghan, Sophie Chiari, and my fellow contributors!

I’m also on the 🦋 app. Same handle. Learning my way around.

Here’s information from Humanities Texas about how to take action in response to the devastating cuts in funding for the humanities, which will have profound impacts on communities throughout our state and country. Contact your reps and donate to your state humanities council.

In honor of the announcement about WTF with Marc Maron coming to an end, I’m resharing a piece I wrote about all the Shakespearean moments in the early years of the show. It’s no longer online, so here’s a PDF. dropbox.com/scl/fi/pi51brg…
