The book can pretty much be summed up as “Marxism intensifies” 😂

Yessssss they’re so good! Her other books feel a little more fanfiction-like to me than this one, just in genre (rewriting fairy tales and histories)

Karis Jones Ph.D. @karismjones.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I thought she handled it very well, and it’s nice to see authors listen & learn from their fans!

Karis Jones Ph.D. @karismjones.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Also, the author navigated some fan backlash very thoughtfully, where she acknowledged and apologized for an instance of culturally insensitive world-building and fixed it in an updated version

Karis Jones Ph.D. @karismjones.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It examines school/dark academia through an intersectional lens of culture, capital, and class. I went to an author talk where she talked about her class-focused critiques of magical worldbuilding—why would anyone be poor if there’s magic? Excellent read re: labor & the cost of shortcuts (2/2)

“A Deadly Education,” by Naomi Novik, co-founder of Archive of Our Own. With her background in fanfiction, Novik can rip apart a genre and critically stitch it back together like no one else. (1/2) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609361...

What do we think about Julius Caesar vs. Macbeth? I’m biased because I really love teaching Macbeth 🤣

Bonus: I love this set of pull-quotes

pull-quotes from article: These wearingly familiar, recycled reform efforts echo technological solutionism. Critically interrogating platform outputs is inseparable from the relational work teachers do. Teachers asserted their professional judgement through deleberate decisions to adapt, supplement, or replace lesson outputs that conflicted with their commitments to their students' learning. Recentering young writers as the heart of instructional planning involved another powerful and interconnected humanizing move that lesson generators could not provide. Importantly, a transformative activist stance refuses the notion that the future of writing instruction should be outsourced to platform logics.

As folks gear up for the new semester, a reminder if anyone needs it, my Ai statement is available for people to make use of in their own materials. It’s downloadable and printable from my site here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.
