Going Postal would be a way more valuable standard HS text than Gatsby, and I become more convinced of this every day.

Alright #PCA2026: one last preview! I've posted about the talks in the 1:15 panel; at 11:30, we have a roundtable featuring instructor, intern, and student perspectives on a fan fiction class as resistant queer space. You know you want to hear about a class where these were the discussion groups:

An articulation of a thing that bothers me has emerged from my mid-term grading marathon: Some students think that the point of assignments is to show (off) what they KNOW, when what I want is to see what they’ve LEARNED. Only took me 16 years to name, but will be useful going forward!

love when medieval texts use words that aren’t always as tied to gendered/sexed embodiment in ME as they are in modern English. tell me more about the Green Knight’s womb or the male dragon’s womb or maidens marrying maidens, I’m imagining beautiful trans and queer medieval worlds in my mind

Acknowledging that, like, by definition all scams are scummy, the near-daily spam texts I am getting about “jobs” feels…just particularly scummy in this moment. Taking advantage of people who are desperate for work while all their options are being actively eroded…gross, gross, gross.

May I share with you the small joy that was my dog’s report card from daycare today? (Bonus content: the name of the last dog on her friends list.)

An image of a doggy daycare report, reading “Pocket was extremely resourceful and hid fully under our play equipment in an attempt to be forgotten before her bath! Unfortunately, the counselor is a hide and seek champion, and Pocket was retrieved for her bath, despite it all!”
A list of other dogs is at the end of the report, with the last one reading “Mistletoe (The Missile.”

More people voted for Kamala in Texas (4.8 million votes) and in Florida (4.7 million) than in New York State (4.6 million). California had nearly the same number of Trump '24 voters (6.08 million) as Florida (6.11 million), and had only 300k less than Texas. Does anyone else see the problem here?

A couple years ago, I was in a workshop at SAA on using Shakespeare in times of political unrest. And as we moved to including the auditors, someone asked what they could do to support those of us who had done the workshop, almost all of whom worked in red states.
