so amazing what Doing The Freakin' Readings does for your grades in college. one wierd trick, etc. π
This was me in the sleepiest Neoclassical/Romance Poetry class you could ever imagine. 5pm class and felt like the room was being gas-anesthetized by the SWAT team every day and only me and the prof were immune. c'mon kids this is some of the prettiest lit you'll ever read if you just would read it!
this looks great! is there an alt build for the batcycle?
Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters
Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm
I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair
Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

promote authors, make connections to left publishers, and offer a big tent curriculum that will connect people between chapters and build ties with engaged activists who aren't down with membership (or not down yet). It seems bizarre to me that a well-resourced org isn't already doing this.
poly-ed is a bad move. With a tiny bit of investment from national (lol, as if) these groups could be coordinated and organized better, be able to curate and publish syllabi and all the other resources and slide decks (homework is fun!) facilitators create, clear e-copies of readings, host and
reading groups, due to size or lack of experience or whatever. My groups would have folks from NOLA, Oregon, one person was a literal carnie doing itinerant work while raising a kid. I think having a few local workshop-like groups is great, but abandoning the capacity for high-quality remote

the millennial retirement home is more ready to dismiss anyone who worked for blackwater as irredeemable too
