i love weird adaptations. chris nolan’s changes to the odyssey are controversial. but i like them a lot, because they make the movie more interesting and modern. we exist!

This is exactly how and why I ended up posting all my bad drawings

ICE has killed another person.

El Salvadoran Man Held by ICE at Delaney Hall Dies, Family SaysThe detainee had an extensive medical history, including epilepsy, according to a lawsuit. He had complained about his face and hand going numb just before his death, his mother said.www.thecityreporter.nyc

I'm neither an instigator nor an influencer, but I am a publisher of independent media who relies on social media for his business and I very much want this place to be something more than just a hang out space for those of us with different goals. I hope it continues to grow

Twitter made Hamilton happen, imo. Now it’s up to bluesky to get Hadestown mainstreamed lol

PLEASE 🙏

And to be clear I do not have purity tests for my hosting institutions. Few unis are really meeting the moment, but those that are gleefully tossing academic freedom to the political winds don’t deserve my time

I recognize that organisers bear no blame for their leaders’ decisions, but I don’t see how we can keep lending our credibility to these institutions as if they are still legitimate

Opinions on the ethics of pulling out of speaking events at unis where academic freedom has just abruptly been killed? I just had to, but organisers were not understanding despite it being 3+ months away, with no costs for me yet incurred. Apparently we are all just supposed to carry on as usual?

Haitians with TPS status forced to wear ankle monitors or else be detained immediately. Blue Ash, Ohio is near Cincinnati.

This is an extremely fun read.

Jelani Cobb is the Dean... This is how you use power for good!

Reason number 19,208,138 we love librarians:

A standard casket is 7 ft long. If you took 1.2 million COVID dead &—presuming a standard casket for each—laid the first casket down in DC & kept laying them down, casket after casket, you'd reach Denver. And that's not counting the millions who only barely survived. One of them is me. 2/

🧵This regime is surely guilty of a lot of evil, but there's a special cast to the evil of denying a reality THROUGH WHICH WE ALL LIVED that stole at *least* 1.2 million of us. That's more people than the populations of St. Louis, New Orleans, Boise, & Anchorage, combined. One of them was my mom.

This is a ridiculous ruling that suggests labeling commodities accurately is a violation of free speech 🙄 i hate this timeline

i personally don't think child molestetion should be required to play volleyball

Anyway, I made a reading list in public. I try to avoid doing that. The Twitter “syllabus” wars scarred me. It’s gonna be a touchy few days.

It will depress you! Sorry about that but it’s kind of my jam. I selected well-written books, some of them are even wryly funny at times — if you come from a culture with macabre humor. Still, the issue is big, complex, and scary. All the more reason for us to face it together.

ping me if you need cheerleading or resources on neighbor reading groups, syllabus design, big theory for everybody
