When the federal government is blockading schools at every level, shooting citizens, and kidnapping people and disappearing them, there is no other choice. Another shooting just now in Minneapolis, in case you hadn't heard.
I’m excited that The Necromantics is now out in paperback! Link in the comments if you have a loved one that would treasure a holiday gift full of reanimated corpses 🧛🏻♀️♥️

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Seeing ‘Translations’ in Kilmainham Gaol about 15 years ago is still one of my favourite theatrical experiences ever.

The Humanities must firmly reject AI taking over our classrooms, our pedagogy. It’s the only way.
Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.
We're running through the copy edits! 🎉 So excited to have a volume in a series with such illustrious co-editors!
