This blog began with Sartre, with a quotation about the collaboration between writer and reader, pasted into a blank page in January 2009. Reading literature is a collaboration in which the writer exerts a measure of control over interpretation, but that control is never complete. I didn't know what would follow. I wanted a place to say what reading did to me; not what books meant, not whether they were any good, but the experience to me of what they did.

My nomination for today's #SuperbOwl.
The Cosmic Owl is two galaxies that crashed into each other, creating overlapping ring-shaped splashes of stars. It measures about 150,000 light years from side to side, or about 10^20 times the size of a Great Grey Owl on Earth. 🧪🔭

My students know Hanif Abdurraqib. They refer to him as “our man Hanif” and “Uncle Hanif.” On Super Bowl Sunday, “IT’S JUST THAT I’M NOT REALLY INTO POLITICS” is THE poem to remind us that every single thing is political, especially when it’s uncomfortable.

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

The cover illustration for “The Chronicles of St. Remedius”…
That's clearly a face hugger ;)
Seriously though, wouldn't a film in the Alien franchise set in medieval Europe be awesome?

You’ve seen my real-time video last night from Beaver.. well here is what Maia saw on her tour! Beautiful from Fairbanks as well.
Maia just got a Sony FX3 to capture real-time video during her tours. Here’s one of the first videos!
