NO PASARAN
24/09/2010
Vendrá la guerra, amor, y en el combate no habrá tregua ni freno para el canto sino poesía haciendo incontenible del cañon, de fusiles libertarios. Vendrá la guerra, amor, y en el combate nos fundiremos en las barricadas defendiendo las hordas criminales a punta de corazón, fuego y metralla cavando sudorosos el futuro en las … More NO PASARAN
Reading for Pleasure Wednesday: RAYUELA
22/09/2010
Rayuela [Hopscotch], Julio Cortázar, Chapter 7, complete: I touch your mouth, with one finger I touch the edge of your mouth, I draw it as it if it came out of my hand, as if your mouth was for the first time just barely open, and closing my eyes is enough to undo it and … More Reading for Pleasure Wednesday: RAYUELA
Louisiana: Resist
20/09/2010
To: All Faculty From: Z Re: Prioritization for “Reduction” Do not allow yourself to be manipulated. Do not allow yourself to be pitted against other faculty. Do not allow your department to be pitted against others. Respond with unity to any prioritization “surveys” which may have been sent to you as individuals. Axé.

Academic Mondays: Robert Boice?
20/09/2010
1 I do not now manage my time as I would like to, due to (a) my Reeducation related disability, (b) what my assigned schedule is, and (c) what customs are in this culture. And I tend to be flexible and relaxed, yet structured. But this culture expects almost complete flexibility, at least from women; … More Academic Mondays: Robert Boice?
Fragile
17/09/2010
Music for a weekend of grading, while the universities mutate and distribute themselves over crimes. I was just, finally, recovering from having my education stolen, so this is all quite ironic. I saw it all coming long ago, however, which does show that I am a good trend spotter. This is not enough satisfaction. I … More Fragile
Bicentenario
16/09/2010
Lately I have been exhilarated but today I am tired, and I miss my home in the city where the air is clear and dry and things are brown and dark green and red, or on the coast where things are white and teal and blue. Axé.
Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
15/09/2010
Jerry Lee Lewis was from Louisiana, too, and he could shake more than Bobby Jindal ever will, but we still have a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. For the Mexican bicentennial, which is today, this blog has moved to a new phase. New understandings of Reeducation or of one’s relationship to Education will not be … More Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
Steak with Four Peppers
14/09/2010
We live in the country and share food. Food I have received in the past includes, but is not limited to ducks and squirrel (“they’re clean, Ma’am, but watch out for the buckshot, I may not have gotten it all”), and has extended more recently to honey from bee-loud glades. Now somebody with cows has … More Steak with Four Peppers
