Are you interested in #womenwriters, especially in the #earlymodern period? Do you teach Cary’s Tragedy of Mariam or want to learn about Shakespeare’s female contemporary?
Check out “Looking for Mariam,” the documentary my students and I made last spring. Free on YouTube!

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
That's a long time in the microwave.

Propaganda we’re not falling for:
- “Cracking knuckles causes arthritis.”
The noise of cracking joints is just nitrogen bubbles bursting in the synovial fluid and is not harmful.

Professor Emma Smith saying “I can’t really defend this, but I’ve started the sentence so I may as well carry on” is sooo relatable actually and I’m obsessed #Shax2025

Moving speech by the thoughtful @ruben-espinosa.bsky.social during the #Shax2025 lunch- we know that teaching/studying the Early Modern has & can have real effects on our present moment. We have "a responsibility to bear witness" and to "be on the right side of history" based on our deep knowledges.

To kick off Women’s History Month, I’ll speak about Flora Carr’s The Tower tonight. It’s resilient women who suffer atrocities, and I’ve got things to say about that!
Of course my daughter is home sick. Here is a peek at my practice run, with a small child in a fairy costume doing acrobatics.
