As a press, we are all over the place genre-wise, and nowhere is that represented better than in @johnchrostek.com’s story collection, Boxcutters, which blurs and blends the lines between speculative, horror, and literary fiction

Been a slog this week but one bright spot is I introduced a student to The Decemberists and Rasputina. Also clued in a class of seniors to the lore of Pizza Rat.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!
We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
