I am sending every bit of my love and support to Rawa Duwaji, who is almost certainly about to receive the Michelle Obama treatment of being compared to Jackie O in thinkpieces asking if she is "elegant" or "classy" enough to be first lady

In 2025, I published several articles about AI and how to navigate our new circumstances as writing teachers.

I recently reorganized the page that hosts links to all of them, and you may find this page useful to read and share.

I'm looking to continue growing my network on here this year.

Can you recommend #teachers and people in #education, #literacy, #poetry, and #literature that I should be following that I may not have found on hear yet? Drop a few suggestions of people you are learning from right now.

Someone who tells you “I’m tired of politics” is really saying “I’ve decided it’s more comfortable for me to not give a f*ck what happens to you.”
Hate hearing people say they're tired of politics. This is not politics, it's life or death, literally, for the planet and for all of us.

The New York Times does not do bad things constantly by accident or for clicks. It does so because it's what its ownership and leadership want to do, and they do the bad things consciously and with a long-term, developing institutional strategy.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

The Democrats in American cities support the GOP "taker" counties. Meanwhile, GOP states try to hamstring the Democratic cities when it comes to self-government. Cops take their city salaries to live in the suburbs. The system is designed to drain resources and limit freedom.

Exactly. Montana is a rotten borough.
Yet we don’t have the political will to restructure things, thanks to worshipping a grossly inadequate constitution which, while “written,” is always infinitely flexible when it comes to oppressing people and completely fixed when it comes to liberating them.

This is why it's our responsibility to continually illustrate the pleasures & the social good of city life. When someone signals that they want to burn it down, you need to have something to point at & ask, "This place? Where I warmly greet my neighbors & everything's in reach? You want to burn it?"

That’s the trick, innit? Breaking down that bigotry involves rural folks meeting more variety of people, but being rural is quite antagonistic to that happening!

Hell of a catch-22.

And I’m not talking out of my ass here: The half acre my grandfather bought on the GI Bill, after surviving the Dust Bowl, is now surrounded by million dollar homes. This is in a county of less than 45k people.

Preach.
The small towns of John Mellencamp’s catalog no longer exist. What’s left are rural elites playing the “real America” card against, generally, blue metro areas.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Without a doubt. He will make a good faith effort to enact all his policy ideas. He will succeed on some and fail on others. And that’s fine. That is how change works. Also his promises are all feasible.
Do you think he can actually achieve his promises?
