One of the things about my anthology that I am both excited and extremely humbled by is the fact that Samuel Delany sent @broadviewpress.bsky.social a newly edited version of his story “Among the Blobs” for me to use, complete with some relevant images, new notes, and a new introduction! #SFF

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

A 🧵 about academic gatherings & mourning their lost, singular role.
Didn’t see everyone I’d hoped to at #MLA26 in Toronto (sorry!) but I was happy to reconnect with many people, and happier still that the Radical Caucus’ motion regarding the Palestinian exception to academic freedom was passed! 1/

Just watched the South Park where Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social make sweet, sweet love, and I’m so mad.
Why? Because they allowed even a fictional version of this ignorant, hateful, dehydrated, hemorrhoid-inducing little turd to have even a moment of such pure happiness.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

They can't be shamed, but it's still worth it.
Over 100 members of Congress have mounted replicas of a plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection outside their offices -- because House Speaker Mike Johnson has disgracefully refused to install the official one.

Mental note -- when mentioning the Washington Post's past reporting in lecture, be sure to add as an aside that it was once an outlet with a good reputation, otherwise students will be confused.
In which the English editors that Jeff Bezos hired from Rupert Murdoch to run WaPo demonstrate (1) that they don't understand the First Amendment and how it works and (2) that they're also basically illiterate.

Dear Democratic politicians, may I make a humble suggestion?
Stop with the constant use of the F word. Not only is it tacky, it loses its impact when you do it so much, and honestly it looks forced like you’re trying to be tough.
Just a suggestion.
