For ENG 105 this term, i went rogue and decided to teach books i personally love but that I haven't considered for classroom value or analytical options and depth. Books I've only read once but live rent free in my head make up the list, and instead of boring haunted houses I chose "Pink Horror"

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Never let the fascist bigots of the world convince you that you can’t make a difference. Don’t let them steal your light. We can ALL make a difference. Small acts of kindness and resistance, when done by large amounts of people, can and do change the world.

#Booksky: I need tips, guidance, and the like. Very shy AuDHD girl who needs a list of steps most likely to help me build my reputation as a horror book reviewer. Any resources, accounts, or the like you could point me to as learning tools??

What I did have the attention span for was the first season of Twin Peaks--a bucket list watch I've never been able to give the attention it deserves until now. Starting episode 8 now.... #twinpeaks #davidlynch #whokilledlaurapalmer

I've been on Twitter since 2009. With the goal of promoting the local comic book store & comic creators to improve the industry. A lot of connections happened there. A lot of sales for my store & other stores. Tonight, New Comic Book Day Eve posts are Blue Sky EXCLUSIVE. Let's see how it goes.

My students had a group prompt asking how their reader-response statements for Night of the Living Dead and The Walking Dead Vol. 1 changed after experiencing the last seven days... Concentration of power, aligning the wildfires to the zombie virus, gender roles, racial tensions: they ALL get it.

For anyone looking to replace scrolling on one social media site or another, I highly recommend getting some graphic novels from an online library like Libby. I'm reading Nimona right now and there are zero intrusive news stories or censorship scares...just saying

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.

Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

Frigid temperatures here in west MI sent classes at work to remote. As I was drafting the remote assignment components, I listed the array of events from the last seven days and my head spun. For myself. For my fellow Americans. For humanity.

I knew teaching a literary criticism course built around Night of the Living Dead and The Walking Dead Vol. 1 would be relevant this term, but good lord. Should have assigned Dead Snow instead. IYKYK #horror #weallsawit #film #popculture

Part 3 of to tonight's #RestrictedRebel series of "Stealthy Resistance". Because though my talents may be niche, my freedom fighter spirit is strong AF. So, I'll do what I do and hope it makes a small dent in the piles of shitstorm debris I see in the next four years.

Resistance comes in many forms--some with dual benefits. Support your local libraries and up their funding while simultaneously sticking it to Beztoes McGee. Get a card. Borrow physical. Use Libby. Fight the power. Knowledge is power. #RestrictedRebel #RiseRebelResist
