Finished it! Three months of living in this book, 871 pages long, one of the best books I have ever read, Vasily Grossman’s lyrical and piercing account of state violence and how people fear, resist, and obey the state. Both timely and timeless

Love is... when your editor tells you that your book manuscript is "so damn good." Not that you believe it. Love, I mean.

What are your favorite books/articles/films/podcasts about life in the MX-US borderland region? Finalizing that border syllabus and still have room for more readings/viewings/hearings about what it's like to live near the border, in communities on either side. Gracias!

Asked about the best career advice she got, @ruha9 said: “If you put off the things you really care about until after tenure, by then, you may no longer care about them.” What wisdom! I did what I cared about only because I refused to listen to those advising me to wait.

I have a very personal essay coming out in a major newspaper this Sunday and I don’t know whether I am more excited or terrified about it becoming public

I still struggle to find words to describe what having tenure feels like, but this is as close as it gets: You know that feeling when you take off the mask and can breathe easier once you get home? Like that. Including awareness that this individual safety is an illusion.

Ok, I really need your advice as I review my copyedits: Should it be Aztecs and the Aztec Empire or is it time to use Mexica and the Mexica Empire? I know the origins of the Aztec name and it seems more appropriate to use Mexica, but are we there yet?
