this is fucked & also I am manifestly interested in this

The Problem of the Parlor | Los Angeles Review of Books Douglas Dowland close-reads Dan Sinykin and Johanna Winant’s new edited volume, “Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century.”

It was in his review for LARB: share.google/c378ZgJRVTCC...

gave my gen-ed lit class @johannawinant.bsky.social and @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social's process for close-reading as summarized by @profdgd.bsky.social a few weeks ago & it has totally changed how we're able to talk about the assigned reading 🙏

I can kind of make my quasi-informed guesses, but is there any writing on what art Fosse was thinking about while writing Septology?

if you think ed tech is bad, but you have not been registered on mailing lists for business communication professors, you don't know anything

please, enroll in my class. we're going to have a Stukent Business Communication Simternship and it will be auto-graded

whatever else you may say about the conditions of the job, I've constructed a world where I get to spend this week teaching DeLillo and Fosse

The arc of the university is long, but it bends toward the business department

This is just sitting on my shelf, & I think about reading it like once a month

I have a new article about what I'm arguing is a new approach to representing problems of geological scale in literature. the piece itself is kind of a speculative argument about the speculative fiction & nonfiction of Vollmann, Millett, Abdelhadi & O'Brien, and Romo & Foster

Huge thanks to @mtisempty.bsky.social & Ryan, who I'm not sure is on bluesky?? for their generous editorial work, and I'm really excited about everything they've got in the pipeline

It was fun to write about these generally new, understudied, and genre-busting books. It was also fun to try and wrap my head around the similarities in formal conceits among these vastly different books: fiction & nonfiction, personal & impersonal, revolutionary & more passive

Miscellany has published its first article! The wonderful @stevenwatts.bsky.social on Speculative Analepsis and climate catastrophe.

driving through a town of 25k marvelling at things like a "deli"

have put 30 hours into octopath traveler 1 and realizing I wish I'd put 30 hours into doing my homework instead

this is interesting and opens up questions about what adaptation does with this settler fantasy of western expansion written by someone who grew up as a settler in the west bank

lol this is so dark

that's messed up, man

buddy, you don't even reply to my texts

one important thing this website doesn't have still is friends who interact with my posts

does anyone have, like, a worksheet they use to walk students through close reading for the first time?

this is true because college sophomores at Occupy rallies had adequate grasps on US imperialism and it took a symptom like Trump for some people to feel comfortable with the diagnosis

some of you are playing this game for real smdh
