“Abolish them. Also, bring me a drink.”

by Maud Newton | May 25th, 2005

For Christopher Hitchens, A/K/A that “drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjay,”* the prospect of abolishing U.S. English departments “becomes more appetizing by the minute.” (Thanks to Chris Barsanti for the reminder.)

* Sorry, but I’m never going to be able to let that one go. Popinjay is my new favorite word.

No one is thrilled about the gloomy weather.
Astrology haters, look away! I had the most tender and insightful ancestors-oriented astrological chart reading by @radicleheart recently. The interpretations reinforced many of my understandings but also gave me some new ways of looking at aspects and recurrences. Also, she made this gorgeous illustration. ✨🌘
