Remarkable how many people are now “experts” in Eastern European history and relations. Even with a degree in Ukrainian folklore, language, and culture, I am at a loss for words, as I sit here, safe, fed, warm. #standwithukraine

I finished my dissertation two weeks ago. People ask how it feels…it feels…the same. I am still teaching, TAing, editing an overdue book chapter, drafting an article, so, so behind on all my tasks in this burning world. It is a very strange state to be in.

Finished my first co-authored book chapter late last night. Celebrating with tea, a new novel, and nama chocolates 🥰

right after you graduate from school you should get to go on a silent reading retreat where you rediscover the joys of reading for pleasure

Spend more time outdoors, mask up, and protect each other, folks.

Shame on Kyriakos Mitsotakis and #Athens for lack of action on #rhodesfire #rhodesgreece #rhodeswildfire. #EU must push Athens to save the islands, the villages, and their people. Not a time to holiday in Rhodes. Contact your local government to #SaveRhodes American Red Cross

As night falls in #rhodesgreece, locals & firefighters from abroad work tirelessly to slow the #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires from advancing at Laerma, #Rhodes.

With the extreme heat and erratic winds, #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires remain out of control after 7 days. The mayor has deserted & utterly failed the people of #Rhodes. Still they continue to fight & provide relief for the displaced. Send help Ελληνική Κυβέρνηση

Over a week and no relief. The people are scared and devastated, yet still fighting on the ground and supporting evacuees with food and shelter. Shame on Kyriakos Mitsotakis for failing the people. #Rhodes #rhodesfires #rhodeswildfires
