I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I’ve put on Age of Attraction (I know, I am trash) but once again the problem I have with this kind of show is EVERYONE IS SKINNY AND BOTOXED.

Give me a normal 52 yo woman getting hot flashes with an apron belly and a wardrobe of Disney tees. Let her fall in love with a 29 yo.

So cool to have a piece in The Dial! It was very fun to work with Max & Kristin on our cluster essay. Most importantly, if you read my piece I hope you’ll also then seek out the incredible poetry of my long ago classmate Molly Brodak, whose work should be read & remembered

I hear ya on Lemovβ€” I guess the classroom is a (brief) investment for some. After all, in 2010 the NYTimes wrote of his crisis of faith: β€œafter a successful career as a teacher, a Principal, and a charter school founder” (these 3 must’ve been short careers, cause my guy was 42 when that was written)

Which is to say, I’m unbelievably thrilled to say this morning I’ve signed a contract with @mitpress.bsky.social for the trade publication of my next book, an exploration of the first two decades of TTRPG Actual Play.

Also, have they not noticed the field of teaching, and ELA in particular, is somewhat gendered? Kudos to these patriots for counter programming with 3 dudes on what’s wrong with how we teach reading, with another dude as moderator/respondent. Sheesh!!

I mean, they clearly care about teaching; there’s one WHOLE teacher on the panel, and he does early grades literacy. Which is great. Except no one is reading excerpts of the giving tree in 2nd grade. Sheesh.

Won't be attending again until the US makes some significant changes.

In my (entirely invented) narrative, Suitor and Platner tended bar together in ye olde New England, before one put his talents to better use in the Twin Cities and the other became Joe Rogan for Chowddaheads

As good an image as any to illustrate America’s contribution to Middle East peace, order, and stability over the last 30 years.

Happy International Women's Day!

Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.

The second best thing about making bacon on Sunday morn is being able to fry your pierogi in bacon fat.
