i like this photo where it looks like you've interrupted t.s. eliot and virginia woolf in the middle of planning your murder

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

The kid has started the poetry unit at school. It should be fun to see what happens when growing up with a poetics expert runs in to grade 7 language arts

We lack an adequate language for talking about class & culture in the US

It is May Day, a day for workers and solidarity. I usually do a fundraiser but not this year because I am under federal investigation for being too unbutterable and I don’t want the feds in your money

Identity which is a problem because it is theoretically the core focus of my research

Nardwuar hands me a polaroid of a closed coffin. "What is... is that me?" He's doing that face to the camera. "Is that me Nardwuar?"

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

Japanese Dream Pop and Shoegaze is always a solid choice. Currently listening to Hammer Head Shark and highly recommend

gotta be tempting as hell for those Astronauts to get out the further anyone's ever been, scream "OH MY GOD AN ALIEN" and then cut off comms and ram their craft into the dark side of the moon you'd die, but in a way you'd also live forever

Reader, I googlied him

This is why I ignore the alumni emails asking for money. Ski-u-mah!

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

The kid and I have started experimenting with stop motion. This is our first film #stopmotion #animation youtube.com/watch?v=O6L_...

I keep reminding people that admins hate English departments because they are popular (read: inefficient), not because they aren’t. AI is in a long line of technologies that promise to solve that problem for them.

Favourite moment in therapy this week Me: why did I live that way? Therapist: I don’t know, why did you?

Hold up, hold up. Which one’s Maggie and which one’s Hopey?

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

when Spock does the neck pinch, even on bad guys, he always catches them and sets them down very politely. letting this guy fully just drop, leaving Jim to try to awkwardly scramble to catch him, is Vulcan for "it is always morally right to punch Nazis"

"Minnesota Nice" means no to ICE.

I am so proud of my brothers, sisters, siblings in MPLS today. I hate that you are living through this but love that you have come together to resist. Love and solidarity

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Stay strong folks

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

This dude rules

it's a harsh world out there and not everyone is going to give you credit for all the great stuff you do. but Sandal thinks you have done awesome this year. he doesn't know how you do it. he also doesn't even know how to open the refrigerator but that isn't important rn

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

So apparently you can’t brute force your way through stroke recovery nor should you try… My doctors say the funniest things

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

Insurance company wants to know how my stroke effects my ability to work and I feel if I sent them the first draft of the form they would get it

The last I checked I had published the only scholarship that engaged with Hackers in even a passing manner. Hack the planet!

This was me. It’s worth getting checked

One advantage of being on medical leave is that I can listen to music my family would hate while doing my therapies… (Boris rules!!!)

If anyone is looking for some real wild recommendations for books for Alberta schools, I’m your man. I read the list and noticed some fun gaps
