If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I’m too excited about this.
2027 marks the 30 year anniversary of Daria, so of, course I have to mark the occasion with a book! Extremely excited to be writing The Truth and A Lie Are Not Sort of The Same Thing: Critical Reflections on Daria in Sick, Sad Times* for McFarland & Company.

So let me be very clear: there was a massive rash of bomb threats at universities nationwide this week.
ELEVEN of them specifically called out the university or college libraries.

Can’t heap enough praise on this book, which feels like will become a touchstone of the environmental humanities, the kind of book that bleeds over into serious nonfiction, enviro/nature writing, eco criticism, etc. Just a stunning, brilliant work.

I’m excited for this crucial book, University Keywords. @andyhines.bsky.social convened an awesome crew of writers for it. I co-wrote entries on “Alternative Institutions” (with Andy) and on “Sustainability” (with Andy, Jesse Goldstein, and @kaibosworth.bsky.social).
This mighty book has arrived and I’m eager for it to be in your hands! It can orient us term by term to past struggles in higher education and the ones ahead.

I wrote about close reading. What it is, why it matters, and what John Guillory gets right and wrong in his recent On Close Reading. Offers a sneak peek of a little of what @johannawinant.bsky.social and I are up to in our forthcoming Close Reading for the 21C

What is Close Reading?
By transforming quotations into evidence, close reading served as way to transform postwar criticism into a specialized knowledge. But what if we treated it more as an art form?

In the Rochester, NY area? Do not miss this.
It'll be an honor returning to Naz to celebrate the release of 'Condition Ahuman.'
I'm planning to do some readings from the book and talk about my experience DIY publishing.
It'll be a special Beltane night, so please come and support queer art!

I am super grateful to Marco Abel and Luis Othoniel Rosa for the invitation to Humanities on the Edge, to present on my possible future book that I am now calling “post-apocalyptic humanities”. I was very happy to see friends old and new and talk to the community

Life-saving, even, for some and stunningly supportive and educational for many of us. The “dancing teen” canard coupled with the smug “i’M gLAd I WAs nEvER on IT” snark from academics who otherwise see themselves and their work as deeply rooted in social justice rankles.
TikTok's algorithm makes it a really valuable resource for connecting with communities you haven't even figured out you want to connect with yet. It can be life-changing, and people dismissing it as a dancing-teenager app are showing their ignorance.
TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.
It also had a large chronically ill community.
The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.
