I'm having this really bizarre experience currently where It has become somewhat essential to the argument in my book. Now the, like, 20 times I read this book as a teen is paying off!

wild to be living in a world with live-streamed state executions and legal daylight kidnappings, but every time you turn around some loser is saying, hey man, what if art were completely frictionless? what if we killed even the possibility of human connection??

A few years ago a children's lit friend said she had quit teaching white authors in her classes. And I was like, huh. I could do that. And then I did. My films all center white guys though... So I could either do better or do what I'm doing, feminist/ethnic studies readings of the films.

I, for some unknown reason, set up my entire spring 2027 course today. It was procrasti-production on an epic scale. Anyway, same sentient AI & sci-fi class as this term, but I've dropped a novel and added in academic articles. Proud to report we're still not reading anything by cis white men.

I HAVE A DRAFT OF CHAPTER ONE! I wanted to be here 6 weeks ago, but whatevs. Better late than never. It is 48 pages (there are like 6-7 images taking up some room) and just under 15k words. The final 10 pages need a lot of work. But! Draft drafted, bitches.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

I wear a rainbow pin every day I teach so students know my class is a safe space. I feel like it was easy to accuse folks of 'virtue signaling' in the Obama or Biden era. Now, however, a clear marker of seeing/belonging that is essential during fascist times.

I also want to make clear that only interpreting horniness as profanity and nudity is one bad outcome of the dark/gritty era. There can be canonical horny texts available at every cinematic rating.

When I was a teenager I re-read Stephen King's It every 6-12 months. (I also re-read it once as an adult, maybe 10 years ago.) Anyway, it has all paid off in the ease in which I wrote a framing section for the first chapter of my book. All those hours for 4 easy paragraphs. So worth it.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
