Last summer, @jamacintosh.bsky.social and I led a Marxism reading group on zoom. We are getting the gang back together this month to read @anniemcc.bsky.social’s Beneath the Wage. DM or comment if you’re interested. Or pass this along! All are welcome.

I wrote about Claire Baglin’s seething debut novella for @thenation.com and spend considerable time interrogating how literature depicts working class labor (especially amid so many books/tv series/films set in the corporate workplace). I hope you’ll read! 🍟 www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Has Contemporary Fiction Ignored the Working Class?
Claire Baglin’s bracing On the Clock gives its readers a close look at work behind the fry station, and in the process asks what experiences are missing from mainstream letters.

Did you know that almost all other Maryland state workers have the collective bargaining rights that give them a meaningful say in their workplaces. @senbillferg.bsky.social, @mddems.bsky.social, & @mdhousedems.bsky.social, MD’s faculty deserve these same rights!

Don't count on your institutions to defend you in the coming onslaught on higher ed. Only way to protect ourselves is to organize, organize, organize! Find out how to do this with UAM-UMD, AAUP, & @aftunion.bsky.social here: uamumd.org/professors-a... www.chronicle.com/article/when...

When Trump Was First Elected, College Leaders Wrote Statements About It. And Now?
Dozens of campus leaders wrote directly to their communities in 2016. Only a handful have done so in the aftermath of President-Elect Trump’s Tuesday victory.

Looking forward to participating in this symposium today, where I’ll be presenting some new work on deskilling and intimate labor in Catherine Lacey’s The Answers.

if a publisher contacts you directly about the release of one of their books with a few paragraphs of summary, suggests galleys are available, and invites you to pitch a review, do you take that as a targeted invitation based on your particular expertise or a just mass email? (asking for a friend)

i get the impulse not to speak ill of the dead except that those who tend to follow this impulse are hesitant to speak ill of the dead when they are living, too, which is at the heart of the problem
