Check out my new podcast. First show has me and David Kyuman Kim discussing possibities, and impossibilities, of doing radical work on race in the university. 

I suppose it started several years ago when I closed my Facebook account. Largely because of Zuckerberg, but also because I was spending so much time on it.  Besides, I always had Twitter. Then, last month, that account bit the dust--or, more like, evaporated in a glorious moment of silence. I moved on to Mastodon, which, for all its clunkiness and quirks, I rather like.  Low key, nice people who care about things I care about. And who are not frantic, FFS.

Then, I heard Tumblr was also beginning to get refugees from Twitter. I started my Tumblr around 2012, and have not really used it much in the past several years.

So I restarted, and began to delete all my old posts--so many were aged, though for me personally quaint. There were so many!  I began to have second thoughts about purging my old posts. I also ran out of steam. Am I alone in this?

So what you have now if you care to look is a ragged assembly of things I decided to keep for some reason, and others I have not gotten around to deleting.

Part of my return to Tumblr is to tell folks about my new endeavor--#podcasting.  The series is called “Speaking Out of Place: Getting Our Political Voices Back.” It’s been fun learning to do this, and I hope you will tune in. 

Meanwhile, my website www.palumbo-liu.com has been nicely redesigned, and you can find all the articles and blogs and media appearances that might have been here on Tumblr, there.
