GMd a session of Monster of the Week last night and used the phrases “eldritch bile” and “squelching extractive slurp” and that’s a win.

As a Gen X white male, a demographic that has seen a similar rightward swerve, I can only express sympathy. No lies told 👇.
Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/.

A question about literary theory in U.S. English departments. I was hired by IUP as a specialist in theory in 1999. Do you know of departments that hired theory specialists after '99 (in contrast to, say, identifying theory as a secondary focus or presuming knowledge of it)?.

On this bummer of a morning, I'm reading a brilliantly designed high-school learning unit by one of my students that centers on Butler's 'Dawn' and includes a lengthy note explaining why they will never be able to implement it due to the censorious jackboots on the school board.

I know there's a lot going on, but there's also @oliviastowell's article on 'Laguna Beach' and construction of televisual real-estate bliss. via @publicbooks.

There’s a connection between Laguna Beach’s lush close-ups of LC’s face and its recurrent, luxuriating shots of Orange County mansions.
