I'm realizing this phenomenon is a big part of why I wanted to go back to teaching. My first year back in a decade.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Odysseus's name means "hated one" of "to be grieved."

In "O Brother, Where Art Thou", McGill sings a song called "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow".

Just realized this connection after decades.

Fucking inhuman.

Beyond the fucking pale.
"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street."

I've always loved board games. I remember the first time I played Catan at Eric Rader's house in high school. I remember commercials for games I always wanted to try. I teach my kids and students to play and make games.

This feels so affirming to my "weirdness".
💚 board games 💚

"Dr Atherton said: "Our research has shown they [board games] can enhance wellbeing, foster inclusion, and support learning, with strong evidence that games improve engagement and social connection for neurodivergent individuals compared to other activities."
Study explores wellbeing impact of board games
Researchers find games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Dixit can lead to a boost in confidence.

Battletoads on Switch virtual console?

Yes, I did show the students in game club one of my favorites.

And yes, it was too frustrating for them to play very long.

A nearly religious experience of Pee-wee's Big Adventure at a midnight show at the Music Box in Chicago in high school.

The collective sigh after the storm sequence in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Getting drunk during Snakes on a Plane in college.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.
