After spending hours on my Annual Faculty Report for @umassamherst.bsky.social (the more you do in a year the more you have to write up), I needed a break on this beautiful Fall holiday, so @hawkeceprof.bsky.social & I hiked to the #UMassAmherst Agricultural Station and saw these cute pigs.

A #UMassAmherst poll: 58% of Americans think #Billionaires are a threat to democracy, and 45% say the U.S. is an oligarchy, “a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes.”

First office coffee on this first day of classes for Fall semester, 2026. Especially looking forward to my new grad seminar on the premodern literature of tourism (basically 名所•物産 centric stuff--maybe not exactly *literature* but still fascinating). Good luck to all!
