Thanks for sharing. I want to take it into class to talk about diction. Interesting juxtapositions of words.

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

Writing poetry is so strange. I can't write at all for awhile, and then I start and I can't stop.

A student is writing about a kind of gelato made of pine nuts and oh my god that sounds amazing. The essay takes places in Italy. I wonder if I could find it somewhere closer. I really need to try that.

Understanding Epstein's Crimes Sex trafficking isn't widely understood. Here is what Epstein did.

My train is late and I’m sitting outside in the freezing cold, but the station is blasting a really good version of β€œA Fine Romance” so it helps. Maybe Sarah Vaughan.

My favorite part of the Melania movie is when she uses her stilettos to poke out her eyes.

I have been teaching this story for the last couple of years, and sometimes my student don't get the basic plot. Typed it into ChatGPT, and the f-ing machine summarized it perfectly. Sigh. www.instagram.com/p/BqmjcDtHAKp/

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

Went to dinner in my neighborhood tonight and had to ask the restaurant to change the station on the giant TVs on the wall because seeing images of a man being murdered by our government on a β€œfun night out” is too much. #abolishice
