For ENG 105 this term, i went rogue and decided to teach books i personally love but that I haven't considered for classroom value or analytical options and depth. Books I've only read once but live rent free in my head make up the list, and instead of boring haunted houses I chose "Pink Horror"

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.
Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.
Just. Keep. Reading.

Never let the fascist bigots of the world convince you that you can’t make a difference.
Don’t let them steal your light.
We can ALL make a difference. Small acts of kindness and resistance, when done by large amounts of people, can and do change the world.

What I did have the attention span for was the first season of Twin Peaks--a bucket list watch I've never been able to give the attention it deserves until now. Starting episode 8 now.... #twinpeaks #davidlynch #whokilledlaurapalmer

For anyone looking to replace scrolling on one social media site or another, I highly recommend getting some graphic novels from an online library like Libby. I'm reading Nimona right now and there are zero intrusive news stories or censorship scares...just saying

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath
