“But what have they become today, those light signals that Pasolini announced in 1941 and then sadly renounced in 1975? What are their chances of apparition or their zones of erasure; what are their powers, their fragilities?”—Georges Didi-Huberman. Fireflies. Fragilities. Angst.

excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone.

Oh man. Don't think I have the space/time at all to really make this a thing but a "25 in 25 pledge" in which people committed to making sure 25% of the books they bought in 2025 were from small/indie presses has some potential.

last day of class so i bought too many donuts for my students and spent the rest of the afternoon eating the leftovers and forgetting to drink water so now i'm slouched on my office floor trying to summon the willpower to leave this fluorescent-spilled space and reclaim my body and my mind

Saw this movie last week thanks to Space Gallery in Portland, and recommend it to everyone. People love to say "don't mourn, organize," but this film shows the gritty daily details of what organizing looks like, and how solidarity is built one conversation and barbecue at a time.
I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...
Amazon Doesn’t Want You to Stream This Gripping New Documentary. This Weekend, You Can.
Union won raves and an award at Sundance, but executives have been afraid to make it available. Now it is.

A little bit about Hotbed, for new followers & friends: it’s the story of a secret (ish) club of radical feminists in Greenwich Village in the 1910s who were trying to define this new term as they lived it. They were trying to figure out how to live politically and personally honest lives.

I wanted to write about their network, in part to fight the great-individual school of biography, which publishers still prioritize. But also because I think it takes courage to live on your own terms - and friendship, which is the core of this story.

More than anything the “Hotbed” idea is meant to evoke the way feminism was embedded in & nourished by a host of leftist political forces: socialism, labor rights, racial justice, birth control, etc AND by the incredible artistic creativity of the time & place.
