Why isn’t my first step to always check Internet Archive?! (It’s there…)
Anyone here have a copy of Sally Potter’s THRILLER (1979) they might be able to share? Thinking of showing in my theory class but haven’t seen in ages.

One of my favourite quotes is from Audre Lorde and it reminds me consistently why community is so urgent: “We are, each one of us, intricately woven into the other's existence.”

My article, "Sambizanga (1972/2021): The Thin Green Line Between Canons and Revolutions," just came out as part of a Close-Up on Sambizanga guest edited by Gust Burns for Black Camera. Also in this issue is a Close-Up on Sara Gómez. I couldn't have asked for better holiday reading.

Happy Public Domain Day! At the start of each year, a new set of works is freed from copyright — ready to be shared, reused, and reimagined. See our highlights — Hannah Arendt, Albert Einstein, Langston Hughes, William Faulkner, and many more. #publicdomain
Happy Public Domain Day 2026!
Each January 1st is Public Domain Day, when a new crop of works have their copyrights expire and become free to share and reuse for any purpose. Here's our highlights for 2026.

Someone should write a history of the syllabus. You could learn so much about higher ed just from the changes in these documents.
