So grateful for Fred Jameson's writing and teaching. I will miss his careful criticism and his kindness. Thanks, Fred. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/b...

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

hate this!!!!!
