it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

day 31 of #tolkientober "Destruction" Maglor moments after tossing in the last symbol of the oath that led to crumbling and severing of so many things. A history and an act that would also wither him as well. #fanart #sketch #silmarillion #tolkien

had a very fun halloween party with @morifinwe.bsky.social @spacegays4days.bsky.social @murakumogou.bsky.social & lette whose handle died lmao 🎃👻

How every state in the US teaches about feudalism. A New post from me and @profgabriele.com, along with access to a slideshow and spreadsheet with more info. 24 states REQUIRE feudalism. 8 suggest feudalism. Feudalism, ICYMI, is not a real thing. Click, read, share, subscribe (it's free!).

realizing i'm slated to teach my intro to lit students about scansion this week but the only poetry i feel even remotely qualified to scan in front of a live audience that expects me to know what i'm doing is in latin

i go birding with my mom as often as our schedules allow (once every couple of months, usually) and inevitably she whips out the good camera and gets these really delightful candids of me doing my fave things. here, looking up (birds in the sky!) and looking down (tiny lifeforms in the water!)

todays lunch break

People never believe this fresco is real, but it is!

Yavanna & Aulë for @ainurweek ! I plan to sell prints of these illustrations and a portion of the profits will be donated to a forest conservation charity (I'll do a separate post about that later this week).

cats have been GLUED to me all day... i am sorry i will never leave home again....

whimper.

cosplaying in my late 20s looks like "what if i cosplayed this obscure character that nobody will recognize.... and then also make several choices that prioritize comfort over canonicity" for example: nicolas de lenfent, but he's wearing hokas.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

The humanities aren't only a/b mastering content, they're also a/b developing certain habits or dispositions: critical thinking, close reading of texts, sensitivity to context & complexity, etc. Like learning a musical instrument, these habits can only be attained when one *does the work themselves*

teachers! excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone. take a look, share, + most importantly: CONTRIBUTE against-a-i.com

little river walk today :)

*cackle cackle* #pixelart #umineko

this particular week / weekend there are three (3) MAJOR annual events (including college move-in) in my Pretty Small College Hometown so the double retail hell experience has been... Extra Hellish

i cant wait to set up my canvas shells this week. pretty much all of my courses are still Being Built but getting the templates loaded and populating the regular syllabus & resources stuff will be a Easy check off on the to do list and i am looking forward to it
