In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I said nothing, and tried to think nothing.

We've opened submissions for a special online issue of @barrelhouse.bsky.social. The Dirty Issue will be edited and produced by my students at Temple University. Send us your fiction, poems, art. More details on what we're looking for here, on Submittable:

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

My editing & publishing class at Temple will be opening soon for submissions for a special online issue of Barrelhouse, with the theme "The Dirty Issue." Fiction & nonfiction up to 2,500 words, and up to 5 poems. Usual @barrelhouse.bsky.social contract & payment.

Worse, it was traditional to feel this way. - John Ashbery, Girls on the Run

Our Emmett graduates from the fire academy tonight! We are so proud of him. I love their class photo, which is from their Final Burn 🔥 Congratulations, Emmett!

Having done a dozen or more of these Miami games in person, I feel entirely comfortable saying that Philly treats Messi with less reverence than any other MLS crowd. Legendary sports fans, obviously, and some of the only who actively boo him at almost all times.
