Asking for a friend: how do you stay resilient on the academic job market (specifically humanities)?

The Game Awards are not the Oscars of video games. The Oscars miss constantly but at least they are a bona fide attempt by an industry to legitimize and promote itself; TGA is not that, it's just ads for individual products masquerading as an awards show run by one guy's particular preferences.

Are you a medieval maker? Or know someone who is? Email [email protected] for a chance to be featured in my holiday gift guide!

'Translating Chaucer is a strange and humbling act. It’s like listening through centuries of static to a voice that is both foreign and familiar, comic and solemn, earnest and ironic.' Jonathan Fruoco writes about his experience translating Chaucer for our Meet a Medievalist Maker blogpost series👇

Just a few days left until @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social ! I’ll be at Table C12a in the Comixology Hall and also hosting a Saturday panel on comics and medieval texts (SWOON). I’ll have copies of a new book and some other fun stuff for you, so say hello!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

And you folded and “negotiated” with liars. Shame. Disappointing as always.

This moment from the Simpsons is always relevant in US politics

I swear they hate winning. Disappointing as always

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Surprised he heard about it.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Wanna hear a scary story? The first American vampire was Black. Seriously. 78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy. It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
