I've seen some that definitely achieve sexy, like the Katrina Jackson book shown here that started quite a pearl-clutching discourse on the bird site last summer. I should note that this is a special edition cover, not the wide-release cover.

Last year's Book Bonanza was responsible for my one viral tweet: the special edition cover of Katrina Jackson's Office Hours started some discourse.

Among those items are the following things I made: an afghan, a throw, and some little octopus friends. 🧶

As a Professor of Instruction (no research, teaching only) I'm never an "official" mentor, but Shayne was my TA for so many semesters (starting in 2019) that I claim her and she claims me.

DH, home with a cold and watching Dune, made me LOL with this text. (Context: I'm a Biology prof who often laments that some of my students don't use the provided exam review to prepare.)

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? The getaway will be fast.

DSO's Uptown Nights was so good! Leo Manzari, Carmen Bradford, and Byron Stripling are phenomenal. Thank you Jeff Tyzik for bringing in such talented artists in the Pops series!
