1. #MahmoudKhalil got to meet, hold, & love his baby.
2. A former student reached out after many years & we talked for 3 hours about life, gender, academics, & the pursuit of happiness.
3. I submitted final grades, which means the term is over & I can write. I have a presentation on #MobyDick in Sept. so I need to reread that; I have an essay on #Poe due T-giving so I have a bunch of research on that; & I want to continue working on my #memoir about gardening.

The perilous U.S. attack on Iran is the culmination of a projection of America’s own existential dread. By Michael Brenner The Trump White House has launched an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran – a country that already is the…

#BostonWeekend 25/x Sat - Wrestling! Boston League of Women Wrestlers (#BLOWW) at the Somerville Armory - 28$ - BLOWWBY DICK
"Shiver yer timbers and hoist yer jocks, mateys, for the Boston League of Wicked Wrestlers has set sail for high-camp seas! That's right, our rowdy roster of queer buccaneers has been cast adrift into a world of scalawags, sea curses, and sapphic swashbucklers! A lawless ocean where power be taken, not given, where gold buys loyalty (or at least a round of Davy Jones' Poppers), and where the only thing sharper than a cutlass is the tongue of a queen with something to prove.
Booty will be plundered!
Alliances will be betrayed!
Someone WILL fall dramatically off the crow's nest (metaphorically...probably)!"

📚🤦♂️ Picture this: you waltz into the world's biggest #library, expecting literary enlightenment, but the librarian is more interested in hawking a #vuvuzela than helping you find Moby-Dick. 🎺🤷♀️ Because, clearly, what every #bookworm needs is an ear-splitting horn to accompany their reading. 🙄📖

Me empecé Moby Dick en inglés hace medio año y me he prometido acabarlo este verano. No me esperaba para nada esta obra de arte! Solo había leído Bartleby de Melville y, bueno, aquí va el hilo sin spoilers.

Been reading The Moby Dick by Herman Melville for a couple of days and had AI imagine a group snap of Captain Ahab and his crew.

Better a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian. (ish) #MobyDick
My #tombstone isn't going to say anything too extra. Just the entirety of page 44 of #MobyDick.
I hated #MobyDick when I had to once read it for a class. But its social media handle has made me fall ❤️ for its rambling prose.
#Intheheartofthesea is based on the rescue of the sailors of the doomed whaler Essex (launched 1799 in Nantucket), sunk in mid Pacific in 1820 by an enraged bull sperm whale - its fate inspiring Herman Melville to write #MobyDick. Far more isolated than space travel

Like Dracula, Moby Dick has multiple terrible Wordsworth covers. And if you think they’d get better with each go… you’d be wrong. #books #mobydick #wordsworth

"#Whaling was also one of the few industries where #BlackAmericans, both free and formerly #enslaved, could make money and become wealthy. Individuals of all backgrounds could rise through the whaling industry ranks based on skill rather than birth."
I'm happy to give three cheers to #MobyDick's #Daggoo, #Tashtego and #Queequeg.
