Please, Penn — stand up to the Trump administration this time | Opinion

The university needs to reject an offer from the Trump administration that would guarantee it preferential access to federal funding. The cost? All Penn would need to do in exchange is sell its soul.

Friends, what #horror stories should I assign my MFA workshop next week? I want to add some fresh blood. I love to teach @jeffreyford8.bsky.social's "Five Pointed Spell." Read it here and start October early. lithub.com/five-pointed...

“Five-Pointed Spell”

The Black Pickup I was freshly moved from South Jersey to the farm country of Ohio in the midst of a frozen February, 2012. I’d given up my job, my friends, my close proximity to New York City, to …

What search engine do you use? I used to find tons of research (for weird stories) on Google, and now it's the same bare-bones content, link after link, AI of course. Also, I hate the AI answers and -ai doesn't work? Duck Duck Go requires elaborate query terms. Help.
