This fact is a substantial part of Bernie’s enduring national popularity. Democrats don’t have a “too liberal” or “too left” (😂) problem. They have a “voters think their party sucks ass and don’t trust it” problem.

I’m not saying you fully explain modern conservatism by chalking it up to deep-seated psychosexual hangups — but you’d explain a good 95 percent of it.

The boy wanted to watch Wizard of Oz (which somehow I’ve never seen in its entirety) and I just needed to look something up re: dates

Good lord Gaskell is such a dipshit Victorian liberal. She’s just described someone losing their child to disease and starvation, and her main thought is to try to come at “agitators.”

This (epigraph in Mary Barton) is apparently a 19th-century nursery rhyme, and it makes me viscerally angry at how phoned in it is.

Inordinately proud of this unit title for my upcoming work in lit/film course.

Late Friday night and still in collective bargaining, but I like the message my laptop is sending management.

Check out the hat my amazing colleague made me for our program’s “prom.” Yes, that is an albatross on the stern of the British ship. The pirates are winning, as they should.

Wrote Shafik a little note. I know how much upper management loves hearing from alumni.

No, I hacked this. You do history as an historicist literary critic rather than an actual historian. Then it’s just image two all day long.

PowerPoint title slide means it's happening. (And yes, I know the Delacroix painting isn't actually about the 1790s -- the long history of revolutionary iconography, man!)

Not my usual teaching attire (unfortunately), but I’m also helping organize a big all campus unions rally today. Jane Austen says “workers of the world, unite.” ✊

C18 folks -- I'm chairing a pedagogy panel on teaching the eighteenth century transhistorically (and what historicism means for teaching the period more generally) at ASECS in Toronto next April. Please apply! Deadline is 9/15, and you'll be able to apply via the ASECS website.

Marxist who bought a car today and is currently at a July 4 baseball game eating a hotdog for dinner. The contradictions of capital. (J/k Karl would have loved baseball. And he was from Germany, so I’m sure he was down with hotdogs.)
