I’m a fan of #murals, and #Oxford is a mural kind of town. It would be nice to see more of these going up around town, and it would be cool if the University Avenue side of town could become an #arts district. Perhaps a building could be renovated offering office or studio space for #artists at a low cost. Just something to ponder to make the town even more art-friendly. #art #mississippi #creativity #painting #abstractart #modernart

When you find a giant Yoda on sale, you have to ask yourself an honest question: “I want this giant Yoda, but what am I really going to do with a giant Yoda?” Then, after deliberating with the giant Yoda in your shopping cart for an hour, you rationalize your purchase by deciding it would make a great desk accessory because The Force can, in addition to other things, always help you be more work productive. #yoda #starwars #theforceiswithyou #sciencefiction #scifi #desk #deskdecor #deskaccessories

When you teach a #media class that involves speculative fiction, you need a piece of cake with an alien 👽 on it to prepare. #blackmirror #sciencefiction #scifi #speculativefiction #science #technology #aliens #journalism #education

Beautiful things.
