Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know it's mainstream, but Autobiography of Red tore my heart out. 140
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The only solution to ed, at both hs and college levels, is to make every school public and do "admissions" entirely by lottery, with every single school getting the same $/student. Would need to redistribute faculty as well. Will obv. never happen but incremental change short of this won't work. 010
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I teach at one of the more or less "elite" ones and would be delighted if they all were nationalized tomorrow. 110
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am so, so glad I spent 7 years at UCLA for just this reason. 010
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’ve cried reading James Merrill’s “Christmas Tree” in class. Glad to know maybe some students might find that fact itself worthwhile. 041
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 18/09/2026On the sun itself seems trickier than on sunshine. 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Gender ideology infiltrating middle schools huh? 000

Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’s fucking hilarious, which I DID NOT expect! 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Just a bit at the start but “Coyote” has the lines about how he’s up early to work on the ranch while she’s just getting home from the studio (a trope which I am convinced Sabrina Carpenter borrowed). 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Someone who really wants a mustache ride I guess 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This is absolutely true, but Clooney and JLo in Out of Sight is a close second. 020
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Holy fuck. Glen Hansard put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen—just him, a beat-up acoustic guitar, and a sound that filled the entire Hollywood Bowl. I was lucky enough to see him again in a much smaller setting and he was just as at home there. A horrible loss for music and for humanity. 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 26/07/2026You are AWARE, David, that there is SUGAR in that SODA 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It’s going to be the whole framework for sophomore English at my school next year! 020
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Would do this too if I got to hang out with Jarvis Cocker 020
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Oh yeah, my wife takes a daily life saving medication for an autoimmune disorder and we have to get it without insurance or it would cost hundreds and hundreds more every month. Fun times! 110
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I mean, I’ll mock him whenever possible, but he’s totally right here, even if it’s just an etymological tautology 010
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I have a joke about Laocoön but I know you’d all tear it to shreds. 020
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I have an activity that goes with it that I’m happy to share. Meant to introduce students to academic argument (I use it for advanced high school seniors but it would work for undergrads too). 110
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I always use Melissa Sanchez’s PMLA essay on queer readings of Helena (and The Faerie Queen but we just ignore that bit). Does a good job of setting up its scholarly stakes and interventions in the critical and theoretical history. 110
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Holy shit, I’m teaching Richard II this fall, new unit incoming 121

Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Oh yeah the unsuspension is totally corrupt. But I do think the outcome is just. (And I say this as an American who never roots for the US team because I’m a huge Italy fan, more’s the pity.) 200
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Two things are both true: it was never a red, and he should be suspended once one was given 100
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I’d say we need to park the bus but we have no public transportation infrastructure 000
Conor O'Sullivan @conor610.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Does it matter that the first touch was heavy and the ball was running out of Kane’s reach? I can’t imagine that it should, but wonder if that had something to do with the no call 100
