Getting starstruck about talking to muppets but completely not recognizing the people behind them would be very embarrassing but I think it's what would happen

I like to think that I would just flip over into believing Muppets are real for a while, like I've been trained by media since childhood to be prepared to treat Kermit like a real person. That being said I might corpse anyways from being like, in a scene with someone I know from childhood!

I think that's probably more necessary now than it was then, back in the day the Muppet Show had like, guests on it all the time. So I think it was just accepted that sometimes you're being filmed having a sincere conversation with Kermit.

She launched her career trying to get professors fired in the name of academic freedom. Her website publishes a firehose of conservative propaganda in the name of open debate. She is now censoring factual information under the guise of journalistic accuracy.

Do you by any chance remember the theorists/modes of analysis used?

You've mentioned your interest in literary studies/literary analysis - have you ever read or looked into science fiction studies or the specific academic analysis of science fiction (or fantasy, which is unfortunately even more understudied)?

It is especially revealing of Miller's obliviousness that he is making a "of course you'd refuse to house the stranger" claim *the week of Christmas*, which for everything else about it is fundamentally a story of hospitality denied then recieved. All nativism and no nativity for thise ghoul.
