I’ve been trying to get across a lesson around collage as a metaphor for theory and research — taking elements from different places and creating new meaning that wasn’t there before. I don’t know if they’re totally getting that part yet—but they love the arts and crafts element.

Yepppp.

It’s so frustrating! We have a printer in our building, but they keep shaming us for using it and trying to institute paper quotas.

Oh yeah, I mean—I don’t think the full push to streaming has turned out positively for anyone. They’re all losing money, and the audience is frustrated, and everyone working on the shows is making way less money than during the network era. Not great! 💀

To be fair, awards shows have never been an objective measure of quality, but a mechanism of marketing/a political process/dependent on the network or streamer’s campaign and the taste of the academy. To me, they’re fun to discuss and useful to analyze as a reflection of the TV landscape.

the Emmys need to give The Rehearsal a special award for outstanding achievement in prop design and best use of a needle drop at the very least.

Somebody, Somewhere has everything: nuanced friendship, queer found family, regular looking middle aged people, family trauma, cabaret singing, the Midwest, lots of jokes. You’ll cry once an episode, but in a nice way.

Jeff Hiller!! Literally crying! If you haven’t watched Somebody, Somewhere yet, do yourself a favor and fire it up.
