this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
I was just talking to someone about this today! Great book.

Flying again today, so of course I'm reading Dewey:

"The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that our experiences are genuinely or equally educative. Experience and education cannot be directly equated to each other. For some experiences are miseducative."

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine
What are we doing?
Track workouts!
Why are we doing it?
Because it's one thing we can control in their barren hellscape we call reality!
5: "The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead.
4: "Anita de Monte Laughs Last" by Xochitl Gonzalez.
3: "All Fours" by Miranda July. As good as everyone says. Gonna have to reread this in like 7 years.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle.

One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”
2: "Oona Out of Order" by Margarita Montimore. An unintentionally apt choice for the new year.
1: "Butter" by Asako Yuzuki. Messy and delicious.
2025 book thread!

Chase Strangio said we need to intervene in any and all narratives that work to blame or isolate transgender people. 👀 Step up, push back, be loud. Trans people need to know they aren’t alone and that their allies are legion.

Gilbert cites the study I mentioned in my column re: hegemonic masculinity and it really is a good explanatory lens for *gestures at all of this*. (Also not the same as toxic masculinity.) This column is great and everyone should take a look at the study, too. www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
Yay! Are you doing the Beyond training program?? I'm a leader for the 9-10min group (aka the best group).
Pretty pleased with this Thanksgiving plate.
Every day this week I've felt like it's Friday. We are in week 10 (of 10), so it's the Friday of the fall term. But sadly not actual Friday. Not even tomorrow. What is this.

Looking back over an email about teaching from a favorite professor--

Students learn to care about learning by seeing someone caring, someone whom they respect (and respect above all for the courage to care), seeing that someone caring for learning, and caring for them.
Felt char-cute tonight.
35: "Thank You for Listening" by Julia Whelan. A nice story with excellent narration (obvs)
34: "Sandwich" by Catherine Newman.
33: "Martyr!" By Kaveh Akbar. omg. Definitely on the list to re-listen in a few months.
32: "Margo's Got Money Troubles" by Rufi Thorpe.
31: "Severance" by Ling Ma.
Still can't believe this came out in 2018. So many parallels to 2020.
