as the world burns, can I recommend having your students read "To His Coy Mistress" out loud to cleanse your soul
October 9, 2025 at 3:24 PM
oh no, I think my students don’t think I’m funny. I have no pedagogy without jokes

I mostly hate everything but gods do I LOVE my students

Had a fun and digressive gab about Haywood’s Fantomina on @didntreadit.bsky.social ! Contains a hot take on All Fours, memories of teenage horniness, and a warning against teaching Tess of the D’urbervilles during a pandemic

Friends, give me audiobook recommendations! I usually prefer listening to nonfiction and reading fiction in physical books. Go!
