- Teaching "Woman at Point Zero" at this particular moment has really been.....something.

- How bonkers in the conkers is it to assign just a little bit of Foucault in an intro world history course? (Gonna do it anyway.)
- What I love about this is how utterly calm he is.
- Cousin Danica does a bank robbery with finger guns in an episode of The Great North but most people don't know that.
- She is in fact the worst person.
- I need one of these graphics but for Brady.
- 2026 is off to a great start! Here are my January reads, faves in bold. A very strong first month. #BookSky
- I live for these interviews. What's your dream Chotiner interview? Mine's Gavin Newsom.
- New Interview: www.newyorker.com/culture/q-an...
- Y'all, this thread is my fight song.
