Here I am, 41 years old and living at home, listening from my childhood bedroom to my 73-year-old mom and her friend in the living room discuss the mechanics and diction (sic!) of romantasy sex scenes, and I'm happy for them but really wish I weren't here right now.

Faced with rising temps, Las Vegas is embracing a simple climate solution: More trees Climate change is driving more dangerous summer heat across the U.S. Las Vegas, which reached 120 degrees last summer, is planting thousands of trees to help cool its hottest neighborhoods.

Climate change is driving up peak summer temperatures across the country. Las Vegas broke temperature records last summer. Now, the region is fighting the heat with a simple solution: more trees. via @knpr.org

relistening to Steve Jobs' Stanford '05 commencement speech, consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest and one I was miraculously present for the first time, and his nasal tenor floats back to me over the score of years gone more than his exact words, although those ring for me too.

sometimes while dissertating I look up a book in the university multi-search just for bibliographic details and see it's already checked out and not due back for months and feel a stab of deprivationโ€”"book hog!"โ€”until I realize I'm the borrower ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿฝ and have already had it for months

he is passing everyone handwritten notes telling them he has taken a lover and won't betray him for anyone else, or he'd be interested.

To be clear, only the dream of the incomplete for Dr. Rosenbaum is recurring. And Eliot was a Victorianist, not a modernist. And Brad's not interested. #phdanxiety

Had my recurring dream in which I owe this one lovely modernism professor a paper on George Eliot's _The Mill on the Floss_ to override an incomplete, and then to avoid my family on a visit to the Getty, I end up at a murder mystery swingers party hosted by Brad Pitt at his apartment where (1/2)

For the record, this should embolden you to want to vote in every single election not just every two years or every four years. The way we change the party to what we want is by voting the people we want in.

There are elections on Tuesday in certain parts of FL, CA, GA, MA, NY, SC, WY

Want to know why, in part, the the world has descended into nihilism?

"Cultural Capitalism: Literature and the Market After Socialism" by Bradley A. Gorski, part of the NIU in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies series from Cornell University Press.

The brilliant and charming @bgorski.bsky.social hits the presses today! As we resist the authoritarian turn of our late-capitalist moment, discover why Russian literature embraced the capitalist marketplace in the post-Soviet vacuum. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰

Saw an older woman on the street. maybe early 70s, wearing a wide black silk tie, houndstooth trousers and shiny silver stiletto boots.

I said "Madame you look amazing"

She said "I like to think I'm a little in the space of David Bowie"

my big class outperformed my little class on our first essay, a narrative travelogue, and I think it's because the bigs traded so many ideas and built each other up and the littles were too timid to speak much in such an empty room. makes me feel better about big classes! more discourse ftw. ๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿ’ฌ
