This month's @adaptationtoday.bsky.social podcast episode is basically an excuse for me to geek out over @emmawbooks.bsky.social's work in historical fiction. As always, @reraddatz.bsky.social is thoughtful and insightful! Listen on Apple podcasts or Spotify.

Things feel really hard, but I'm grading my Composition students' projects. And so many of them made thoughtful arguments in exciting forms, like podcasts and video essays.

Such a wonderful conversation! Thanks @reraddatz.bsky.social for being a wonderful partner and listening to me defend my position on basketball, and thanks Bailey for being my own personal meteorologist/Oklahoma historian.

Just met with a student via Zoom and shared my screen. On one of the tabs is "Prue Leith's Stripy Swiss Roll Recipe," so I think I've solidified my identity as a cool millennial.

Prepping for my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen adaptation class by rewatching the movie. I remember seeing this was the first Sean Connery movie I watched 😂

The original "he stole her" tape was audio only, but now there's video, and it's far creepier.

Working on a new script for the podcast after a year(?). The next couple of episodes will examine other Victorian true crime stories (Constance Kent and Maria Manning) and their fictional afterlives. Don't really have a plan, but hoping for the best!

Combing through Jack the Ripper dime novels for a project. Lord Jacquelin Burkney (1889) and Jack the Ripper in New York (1889) pictured below. Not great scans, but fascinating #victorian
