(Thank you for sharing my work!)

Oh my goodness, this made my night! ❤️

Oh no! I just found you again (post-Twitter) and didn’t know about Dexter. I’m so, so sorry!

SAME!!

Have too much fun! I’m so sad I’m missing it this year.

I miss the days of later starts—we’re beginning week 6 tomorrow!

Someday I will learn coffee in the late afternoon is a terrible idea. Today isn’t that day and tomorrow doesn’t look promising, either.

Picturing Music History: A Community-Based Public Musicology Class Project A few years ago, based on increasing student interest, I was asked to create my college’s first course in Black American music history. I use a variety of media in my teaching, from primary sources…

I do one, yes, but I think the one @professorberry.bsky.social is looking for was Julia’s on The Jigsaw: www.teachingmusichistory.com/2023/01/23/p...

Happy belated birthday (I know how much more it stinks than usual to lose a fur baby on your birthday—I had to say goodbye to Tommy on mine).

Oh no! This has been such a rough year for you with the fur babies. Sending hugs, friend.

Incidentally, I have connective tissue disorder where retinal detachment is common, so you can imagine why I panicked and went to the ER!

Oof, I wound up in the ER with one of those in May. I had no idea those were a thing, which is why I went. It was 2 weeks after my rotator cuff surgery and the docs and nurses would come in before looking at my paperwork, saw I was in a sling, and all thought I was there for my arm. Not fun.

Oh, Kevin. I’m so sorry about LuLu and Megatron. Sending hugs.

Oooh, thanks! Now to translate it from the Swedish!

As per the Clingstones yesterday,

“RHP Craig Kimbrel assigned to Gwinnett from Columbus.”

Womp womp.

Note: we call all certificates under a certain number of credits “undergraduate” but we have people in/have completed the certificate with undergraduate and/or graduate degrees or are pursuing one.

For those who might be interested in pursuing formal study in Public Musicology that gets you a portfolio of work and experiential learning, we have room for more students in our online, stand-alone certificate for fall 2025 entry! Contact me for details! catalog.columbusstate.edu/academic-deg...

How long are you here? Would love to see you!!

I think we need to make it best practice to thank those who teach our classes while doing research in our pubs. I happen to know which adjunct is teaching the class I would have taught if it weren’t for my course release this semester for my book research. He’s getting an acknowledgment in the book.

I’ve been doing it since January 2021 in all my courses, including grad courses. Happy to chat if you’d like!

My tenure letter arrived today, a day I never thought I’d see (those of you who know my history understand why).

I did it. I really did it.

It’s the worst. PhD, 19 years teaching as instructor of record, 4 books, and currently associate professor, and you may or may not be shocked that you make more than me. It’s awful out there. Hugs, friend.

Happy birthday!

I’m so excited for this!!

Fauci Warns Public Against Holding Any Large-Scale Celebrations Commemorating February 1708 Release Of J.S.

You have such awful luck with living spaces, dear duck. Let me know if you need anything from afar.

I’m devastated by the loss of David Lynch, whose work has had such an impact on me. Have some damn fine coffee, up there!

It’s such a loss for all of us.

Reminds me of the year AMS was in the same hotel as the Kentucky Muscle Competition…

We start Monday *cries*
