I also get pretty "theater kid" when teaching the chapter in Jane Eyre when she spies on Rochester in the garden. It's insane!

This semester courses are going well *AND* I'm pretty sure that my students are getting a realtime demonstration of middle age burnout. It's fine. I'm fine! 😭☠️🫨

Highly recommend this keynote on the Colored Conventions! Given by Dr. Andre Johnson (@aejohnsonphd.bsky.social) at Mother Bethel AME Church in Philadelphia. Several days of events & programs led by CCP's very own Dr. Denise Burgher. A landmark day!

There's an episode from the early seasons of The Incredible Dr. Pol in which Charles gets his mom a large caliber handgun and they squeeze off a few rounds in the backyard. It might be the strangest thing I've ever seen on TV.

Totally understandable. Wally Post is a very common name 😆

Corollary: you can more easily remove the salad by using a wedge of goat cheese instead of crumbles. I'll show myself out.

#bookhistory #letterpress anybody in bookish/printish circles have a sense of typesetting rates, past and/or present? ⏬⏬⏬

I was wearing @allgrim.bsky.social 's Benjamin/Theses t-shirts the other day and it got me thinking that we need cheesecake prints in which theorists drape their bodies over their works. So, Benjamin / "on the concept of history" Etc. Collaboration anybody?

^^^ my guess is that a similar phenomenon occurs when @annakornbluh.bsky.social reads critical theory

For sure. Sometimes I put a press in a sports car, not a drop of rain to be seen yet we are driving on wet streets. Then we arrive at a beach in 5 min. even tho the closest beach is 3 days away w/o traffic. We stare at the ocean for a really long time, and it's weirdly bright out, at night.
