New Lauren Groff collection is out! I’m a huge Groff girly

I know! It’s what I get for getting it second hand. Is the show any good? It seems pretty faithful to the novel

Holy shit this book is incredible. As i finished it, a single tear fell down my cheek.

Heinous, racist drivel. This is what forever war is meant to be. We saw this same “shock and awe” playbook in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere after 9/11. “Homeland security,” whether abroad or domestically, comes at the expense of non-white bodies.

Also Khamenei’s killing isn’t the end of anything. He was 86. Iran is run by a government. If anything this strengthens & preserves his legacy as fighting Israel to the death.

Maura is so so so so so dumb. This season of the Traitors was excellent

“We are not challenged to love the monster … or presented Heathcliff as the wretched, aging tormenter who Lockwood meets in Brontë’s frame narrative. We cannot transgress, in other words, if loving the monster – no longer monstrous in action or in form – is already a given.”

God, if someone made me a mixtape I’d fall in love

If AI is an all-encompassing movement to rationalise and dehumanise life, and poetry necessarily asserts the human and the beyond-rational, then poetry is the only viable response to the philosophical implications of AI

Obviously I would say this because I'm a poet, but y'know... this is our moment

This is just so utterly devastating. Robert Jr’s openness about his addiction struggles marked such a shift in RHOSLC—it was one of the most raw moments in the franchise’s history. And it was so inspiring to see Mary support him in the way he needed.

The Questioning Spirit: Bringing Visual Dramaturgy into the Classroom What if we understand text as a multi-faceted, dynamic object in which design and embodiment already lurk? The definition of dramaturgy is in constant flux, often dependent on the person or people …

MTC is launching a pedagogy section, where we invite our colleagues to reflect on a question, an assignment, an activity, an experience, a challenge, or a joy they have had in the classroom. To kick off, Alec Abramson, a recent college graduate, discusses his adventures with "dramaturgy design."

This is so so so exciting to work on! Please pitch @mid-theory.bsky.social your pedagogy pieces! Cool ideas, interesting thoughts about the current state of education and higher ed, fun assignments!

seeing all of these cfp for MLA i’m left wondering about the hard-fought boycott? are people just moving on, in which case whats the point of belonging to an org that doesn’t listen to you? and what’s the point of standing up if we’re just gonna cave? or did paula krebbs apologize and resign?

Omg it’s still snowing
