I’m in a seminar on democratic education this term. It deals with 1. What is education, done democratically? and 2. What is education in a democratic society?, among many, many other questions. Monday night’s class tasked us each with writing for 5 or so minutes our answers to the following questions: Where does your orientation … Continue reading »
Calling all Riot Grrls
Ultimate lady date. Let’s do it. Showing at the Ross as of tomorrow.
Math
It’s fascinating stuff. As a young student, I always did well. Advanced, in fact. Yet, at some point, it became clear to me that I wasn’t really “good at math” so much as I was “excellent at memorization.” I was also able to perform half-hour long monologues, after all.

Califone and Poetry
I’m excited to see Califone live for the first time tonight. And I was reminded of the film made by poet-friend Joshua Marie Wilkinson about them. I’m posting here a little more these days. Growing a bit weary of Facebook and Twitter…

It’s been a week, and while I spent most of that intervening week trying not to get kicked out of grad school in a furious term paper writing marathon, I still haven’t gotten over the amazing weekend that was SSCXWC13Philly.

First pee stop it was cold enough that my jacket and jersey, a bit sweaty when I took them off (woman + bib shorts), … Continue reading »
