I’m so pleased to be heading to Boston for the Summer Children’s Literature Institute in a couple of weeks. Now where did I put my ancient CharlieCard and does it still work?

Still not really sure how I’ll end up using this account, so for now I may just tersely proffer things that delight me, e.g., my current audiobook, which is Space Oddity by @catvalente.bsky.social

Happy first day of classes to all my colleagues, and happy first day to me of remembering to take stretching breaks while packing everything I own. (Books. It’s at least 75% books.)

My brain is convinced we’ve never written so much as a single line of analysis, ever, and we shouldn’t start now.
