It's important to be spineless at all times even if growing one wouldn't cost anyone anything.
The designer didn't come to play with this wonderful cover art! Congratulations, Peter!
This is very sweet, but NL isn't by Steven (and me)! I drafted this passage, for instance.
Kiki knows.

Todd Haynes's sublime CAROL is turning ten. I once wrote about it about, it, and the problem of the happy lesbian, for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social.
Our special issue of differences is out! Claire and I were asked to suggest one article that would be open access, and (although it was VERY hard to choose) we picked Whitney’s, which is about Claudia Rankine’s “American lyric” in Ibero-American translation:

Happy anniversary of the Sudden Departure to all who celebrate. For an @atpost45.bsky.social cluster edited by @ericafretwell.bsky.social and @annakrauthamer.bsky.social, I wrote about the trauma of living to tell (and retell) the tale.

Excited to overshare.
The sudden pervasiveness of AI is infuriating. I'm doing final proofs on my book and Acrobat is asking me if I want an AI summary because the document is long. So the ostensibly neutral "tool" has a built-in anti-literacy nudge?

Do you have brain worms?
Since ppl love campus anecdotes so much, here's one: I have colleagues who give students they know to be MAGA an A (in one case I'm aware of overlooking clear AI use), because the colleague is on a Green Card or H1B, and they know: one complaint like at Texas A&M, and they're on a flight home.

...and we have copious evidence it isn't.
Just did!
I'm an alum of the University of Chicago, and I wrote Dean Deborah Nelson a letter today.
GTA pals, I’m reading at Coach House tomorrow evening in their 5 à 7 series with Sam Creely. It’s planned for outside, but we’ll move indoors if it rains. Would be lovely to see you there!
I recently made a rather successful and intensely sour crumble with Ontario gooseberries.
Ah, yes, so... cheating.
Congratulations! Very eager to read.
