Something just went by as I was scrolling here, about one of today’s talking heads discussions of Ukraine, and my brain replaced “Fiona Hill” with “Faith Hill,” and I was momentarily confused and a little impressed.

Someday I will recover from the utter stupidity of white people who refuse to understand that someone wearing a mask is trying to protect YOU from germs THEY may be carrying, not trying to protect themselves.

I will never forget the capsule review of BATMAN FOREVER \(I believe also by Anthony Lane\) that ran for weeks in the NYer movie listings, which read, in total, “Is that a threat?”

Today in #ENG818 we read and discussed book and dissertation proposals. Thanks to all of you who shared them, especially @wynkenhimself and @Literature_Geek! Now, the REALLY big ask: +
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @Literature_Geek
Many of the students in the class are currently working on comps proposals, and while the diss proposals were super helpful, one student notes that they wished they could see the drafts along the way to the final thing. +
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @Literature_Geek
So if any of you would be willing to share a finished proposal *along with* the Annie Lamott style shitty first draft, and anything inbetween, it would really help them get a sense of process. And I’d be hugely grateful.
Also, my class and I were in total agreement that ending spring break with daylight saving time completely defeats the whole purpose, dang it.

WHOA.

They are lovely! But can I also note that swing? Maybe I am super dated in my playground equipment awareness, but that swing strikes me as the smartest thing ever!

As a card-carrying Professor of Literature, I would like to dispute the notion that reading novels == “escape.” Meaning-making is meaningful.

Is there a particular set of terms someone could use to block the kinds of freaky AI generated images \(that is, pretty much all AI generated images\) that threaten to keep them awake at night? Asking for a friend.
Replying to @electricarchaeo
You know I’m a huge supporter of all your efforts. Mostly.
Replying to @kfitz
It’s just hit me — this is my uncanny valley. Not robots that look freakishly human, but AI produced art that looks freakishly like the human unconscious.
Replying to @electricarchaeo
That is the least nightmare-producing AI painting I’ve seen, which I guess means that’s MY unconscious?
