Class Hop and Swimming Pool at Bard College (from Hollister Hovey’s blog)
Bard College was presumably too fancy to have their swimming pool stowed away under the gym floor, although climate-wise an indoor pool in New York makes plenty of sense.

Did tinsel get phased out of Christmas decorations because it’s so hard to clean it up? It really is incredibly messy and not great for vacuum cleaners.
The holidays are officially over— school starts back tomorrow.
Top three places I imagine defacing when I’m home:
3. Puddin’ Place (because of the apostrophe decision)
2. That house with a racist lawn jockey on North Lamar
1. The Sav-A-Life clinic on old 7 (see this story about the 90s for inspiration)
Merry Christmas!
La conciencia de la mestiza/Towards a New Consciousness
How I love this tragic valley of South Texas, as Ricardo Sanchez calls it; this borderland between the Neuces and the Rio Grande. This land has survived possession and ill-use by five countries: Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the U.S., the COnfederacy, and the U.S. again. It has survived Anglo-Mexican blood feuds, lynchings, burnings, rapes, pillage.
