690 Catholic again today and everytime I try to explain the social theory of power in the Marquis de Sade's works within the context of the #MeToo era, I get brick-wall stares of disgust from my comrades. #Sadeananalysis

"He enjoys the reputation for being in his right mind, yet he knows that were he to explain to a single person just how things were, he would be declared mad.This is enough to drive a person mad, yet he does not become so, and that is precisely his misfortune." #Kierkegaard

I'll be living in the woods for the next two weeks -- no phone, electricity or running water -- so I'm taking a short hiatus from the twitterverse. A small sacrifice for nature appreciation, ruggedness, poetry, reading and painting. Can't wait to unplug. Be well friends 🙈🙉🙊

@ A Room of One's Own bookstore in Madison I just found Terence Hayes's newest book. He was my poetry teacher in college and such an amazing person. His new book is astoundingly beautiful! It has already brought tears to my eyes. #Poetry

"All that most maddens and torments: all Truth with madness in it: all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain: all the subtle demons of thought: all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified and make practically assailable in Moby Dick" -Melville #TuesdayThoughts

I #WillNeverFitIn to the boundaries of academic disciplines but that's OK, they are just capitalist/colonial ideology meant to blind social scientists to the totality of social critique.

#ImmigrantStories my great-grandparents, where Jews escaping Russia in 1905, crossed Europe, the mother of the family was turned away at Ellis Island, separated to be deported back to certain death, her husband picked her up over the fence, and the whole family walked into NYC.

Travelling in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Missouri, it seems that there is no way Trump and his ilk could maintain power without tons of gerrymandering and voter suppression. People are too wholesome, sweet and educated to be mostly alt-right.#TrumpDerangementSyndrome

For #MeatlessMonday I want to make koshery (my all time favourite Egyptian food). Try it out: Lentils, chickpeas, rice, macaroni, fired onions, tomato paste, garlic...Yumm!

#IStartMyDayBy writing down my dreams. Knowing the bizarre adventures my brain can cook up at night helps me add a pinch of salt to the seriousness of my waking thoughts. 💭💭💭 😋
