chips & dips; writing about c19 U.S. literature - wives, violence, energy; prof & union member; Detroit / Philly; Joel Embiid forever
- wait noam chomsky is still ALIVE? very disappointing.
- I actually finished the book for book club (first time I’ve done that) & this made me a little teary. It’s a big feelings week. from Women Talking, Miriam Toews
- there were four deer in my yard when I got home and it was still light at 5:15 — small February wins
- the hardest part about living with other people = the diabolical & unhinged & depraved ways they load the dishwasher
- idk if academic bsky works like this, but does anyone have a shortish reading they like about the why of reading critical theory? this would be for an M.A. class
- in which my kid old “holds” a baby but will not use her arms, and then got annoyed that the six-week old would not grab the seashell she was offering her
- listened to an interview with Claire Danes where she talked about getting surprise pregnant at 44, so there’s my nightmare fuel for the next few years
- it will be a minute before this is out, but I'm quite happy w how this is shaping up. Also William Wells Brown's work deserves 10000% more critical attention than it's received.
- I’ve been accused by friends of appreciating the weird-hot, ugly-hot, or arty-hot man. Gonna add young David Lynch to that roster
- obviously part of the attraction is knowing about that lovely sicko brain
