I’m surprised that Devens isn’t more keen to be on the initial block to give him more shots at getting out, bc if Devens doesn’t end up on the first block he’s going up in the case of a veto #bb28

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Perhaps the culture warriors are unfamiliar with @dasharez0ne.bsky.social’s most poignant and influential work. It works for everyone! Even conservative assholes!

Here's my story on Texas' drag ban being ruled unconstitutional again. Fun quote from Judge David Hittner, a Reagan appointee: "Finally, for those who find such activities as described in this case offensive, the solution is relatively simple … just don’t go." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

For the second time in three years, a federal judge has ruled Texas' ban on drag shows is unconstitutional.

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows an eldritch god, a skeletal possum like creature with large antlers, saying "I AM AS OLD AS THE FOREST ITSELF". 
Panel two shows a stick figure saying, "But you must have been a baby at some point?"
Panel three shows the eldritch god saying "Well. Yes."
Panel four shows a tiny eldritch baby sitting on a rock, his antlers just little twigs.

Screengrab of the short story “Origin Story” by Charlie Beckerman, which reads:

"Come look," your mother says, having figured out how to open the doors to the small balcony.
From the road, you had been able to see a small sliver of the sea, but now it spreads out below the city like a rough sheet of gunmetal. The Victorian pier pirouettes out into the water. The chatter of a seaside city on a warmish day makes its way up to your ears. You squint and try to think of this place as home, since it's about to be.

My univ only offers async/online over the summer, which barely feels like teaching w/23 students. But bc of sched quirks I ended up with 9, 4 of whom withdrew. I got to do so much good work with the remaining 5. There’re a lot of challenges teaching comp but overload doesn’t have to be one of them.

Agree 100% but not wildly optimistic. Sherrod Brown’s webpage doesn’t mention he’s a Democrat, doesn’t say where he stands on current issues (Gaza, climate change, LGBTQ+ rights), just has very beige statements about past work. He’s 73yo and there’s 0 things to get fired up about for his campaign.

Even if you don’t agree with her, that review is an amazing example of someone knowing their shit 1000% and deploying their take with the specificity of a ninja
Screenshot of a paragraph from a review of The Odyssey published in the London Review of Books, with automatically captured text:

London Review
OF BOOKS
Nolan's Odyssey lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or about the relationship between one warrior's glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbours. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words.
There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.

Due to schedule shenanigans (incl my section being listed last) I ended up w/9 students, and only 5 of engaged w/the class. Once I knew who the core 5 students were tho, I got to spend a lot of time on feedback and support. It’s the closest I’ve felt to actual teaching in an online/async course.
