I am once again asking: what small presses are accepting chapbook submissions?

Teaching Total Eclipse by Annie Dillard and A Brief Atmospheric Future by Matthew Gavin Frank in my Advanced Writing classes tomorrow. The prospect of covering beautiful and difficult work with my students is an arrow moving forward.

By age 24, I patented a cancer device, interned at top medical centers, was accepted to a university known for Nobel Laureates. Yet, being Navajo, I felt the disconnect of being a scientist vs an object of study. I am not a product of DEI. I persevered despite science ictnews.org/news/databac...

Excited to launch Thinking With Moss, an NEH-funded project that I've been working on for the past few years with @tega.bsky.social + @aansari86.bsky.social. Bringing in collabs from around the world in a series of workshops, we asked what it might mean to think with moss / www.thinkingwithmoss.net

Well?!?

1. Another Friday afternoon massacre of sorts: NIH just rescinded its Scientific Integrity Policy. h/t @lizborkowski.bsky.social

I feel like I need Gen Z slang to describe how cool this is: did Christopher Dresser…snap? Anyway: it’s a diagram for illustrating design lectures ca. 1854-56 in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum 🔘

Also a great resource: Also docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Pretty cool to win @badinfinity2.bsky.social ‘s Glorious Bodies in the raffle at PrEmo Trans Studies III!

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

How did medical narratives of shell-shock reckon with ideals of masculinity and courage? Excited to announce that my newest article, “An “Indefinite Line’? Shell-shock, Disability, and the Remaking of Masculinity After the Great War” is out in Modern Language Studies, vol. 54, issue 2!

I missed you, Boston

Recently unsealed court documents reveal that “Meta used a database of pirated books to train its AI systems.”

With the pre-launch of Exclusion Zone Botanist: Epsilon yesterday, the original EZB received an update. New, cleaner itch page and now the New Agent Handbook (aka zine edition) PDF is now available. Great introduction to the world of Exclusion Zone Botanist: exeuntpress.itch.io/exclusion-zo...

Oh, looking forward to this!

Exclusion Zone Botanist: Epsilon is a solo drawing and exploration game by Exeunt Press. It is a stand-alone sequel to the ENNIE-nominated Exclusion Zone Botanist. 🌿 Follow the pre-launch page on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/exe... #solorpg #ttrpg

This is so cool! I love seeing RPGs used for teaching. I had one teacher that ran his whole class like an RPG. You had a character sheet, equipment, abilities, and went on quests (assignments) of your choice. Your grade was ultimately based on your final XP earned.

Exclusion Zone Botanist in a writing class! 🌿

RPG fun in my writing class today. It’s written as a solo exploration game, but I put people into groups for journaling and sketching the plants we discovered! Get Exclusion Zone Botanist here, if you’d like to play it yourself: exeuntpress.itch.io/exclusion-zo...

I assign the first 3 chapters of Ways of Seeing when we talk about the way we look at art is the product of history for my advanced writing class. Students always remark on how relevant Berger is in an age of visuality.

Somehow read 105 books in 2025. Now 3 books into 2025!

shameless plug: I've got a chapter in this edited volume on feminist AI, with oxford university press: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I ban generative AI in my writing classroom, mostly because it offers false promises to students, extinguishes their voices, and leads to disappointing outcomes for writing projects. Here’s my statement explaining my rationale. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
