My new doctor, in seeking to diagnose my endlessly elusive imbalance issues, today suggests I might have a “ridiculopathy.” I said, yeah that sounds like something I’d get.

A book (co!) authored by a transgender woman has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 16 weeks now. But it’s probably just a social contagion.

How do you like being glammed up for TV, Professor? they asked. SO SPARKLY!!! I said, I still look like an English teacher. Oh, they said. We're sorry! Don’t be sorry, I replied. To me, this IS sparkly. Also, thank you for the clouds.

Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land. Movie-Palace is now undone, The all-night watchmen have had their fun. Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show, It's the same old ending - time to go. 1st day of classes for Professor Boylan Let’s go

"No one can 'turn' a child gay, in the same way that no one can 'turn' a child straight. What you can do is 'turn' someone from being a close-minded bigot & into someone more accepting of all the many different ways there are of being human."-

Reading Dylan’s book about the philosophy of song "Old Macdonald….ancient Barnard prophet, you know he's no fool. Cluck cluck here you can’t escape the chickens of hell that call you from beyond the coop. E I E I O spells doom in the letters of your own name…" And so on.

Remembering the great Jerry Blavat today, the greatest DJ ever. The voice of my childhood. Who brought us the Beatles? Who knew every doo-wop song ever? Who defined Philadelphia soul? The heart of WFIL? The geeter with the heater. The boss with the hot sauce. RIP.

my work as a standards and ethics editor at popsugar/vox is my pride and joy. i’m hugely proud of the mark i’ve made on our brands over the last 5+ years. today, i was laid off with 7% of the company. so, hire me, i guess!

A hopeful elevator; a colleague's nameplate; us at the

club in midtown before dinner and a show; and midtown in the distance through the grey mist, as seen from the Barnard faculty room high above Columbia and Morningside Heights.
