These kinds of assignments are often used to fuel class discussions and to show instructors what students have gotten out of a reading so that they can address common problem areas in understanding. It’s not what you would typically think of as a “college essay”

One of the best sitcom scenes I’ve seen

He’s at the Black Spot when what happens there goes down in the book. I’m guessing that’s the season finale

I’ve loved Wunmi Mosaku since His House. She’s really great in Sinners. She always has immediate presence on screen. She’s the best part of that Lovecraft Country show, too

I’d love to write a book about that. Do you have any connects in the publishing world?

I love that he cries at how good a student his daughter is. Really gives you everything you need to know about what has happened in the jump cut between the prologue and the modern day

The Lost Bus just came out on Apple TV+ and is a really harrowing wildfire movie. Definitely not on the fun end of the spectrum, tho

I saw his Kimmel interview and was turned off by his aloofness regarding tv. I feel like he thinks his audience is “normal” people who don’t care about award shows but normal people watch tv all the time! It’s one of the most normal things you can do, and he should have been able to bridge that gap

If you care more about Newsom doing snarky tweets than about him collaborating with people who want to kill every single trans person in this country, you don't care about politics, you care about aesthetics

I’ll write whatever you want, just find me a place to publish it and give me money to write it!
