He said it! Now we have to do it.

No no no

extremely funny that the Supreme Court says absolutely nothing about how the tariffs are supposed to be reimbursed ahead of the endless flood of lawsuits that are coming

the administration is already running out of lawyers! have fun with that

I wrote a chapter about Silas Marner & yet I am not surprised it rotated out of the American HS curriculum

💥🤯💥

Supreme Court defies this man and says the Law is King!! They’ve been reading that pamphlet!!!

He’s very entertaining 😄

Frank Cadogan Cowper's painting Lucretia Borgia Reigns in the Vatican in the Absence of Pope Alexander VI. At the center, a woman in a sumptuous white gown sits on an elevated throne under an ornately decorated vaulted ceiling, surrounded by a roomful of cardinals and other prelates.

Sometimes, when the interpersonal aspects of my job feel particularly fraught, I have to pull up Frank Cadogan Cooper's Lucretia Borgia Reigns in the Vatican in the Absence of Pope Alexander VI and stare at it for a few minutes until I am capable of continuing onward

On FB @nbcbayarea.com has a story about her tooth piercing 😄 but they haven’t put it on BSky

I had dinner last fall with Jay Clayton and he had some great stories about helping bring that English department up to code in the 80s and 90s 😄

I can’t believe she pierced her teeth herself! “It didn’t hurt at all,” she beams ☀️

If you haven’t seen an American woman smile joyfully on TV because no one’s telling her what to do — for quite a while! — then watching Alysa Liu skate will be deeply healing ❤️‍🩹

Tilly the dog curls up next to her brand new copy of *Teaching with Science Writing in the Humanities Classroom*

A picture of the first page of the essay “The Critic Afield: Field Guides as Tools for Interdisciplinary Close Reading” by John MacNeill Miller in *Teaching with Science Writing in the Humanities Classroom*

Today is the official publication day of *Teaching with Science Writing in the Humanities Classroom* from @modernlanguage.bsky.social! I’m very happy to have an essay in here on helping students close read field guides as a form of environmental lit. You should check it out! (NB: dog not included)

And a reasonably happy birthday to you, sir

My heart pounds for all the women Olympians: yes even Eileen Gu

Let them pursue their lonely, insane quests, to victory or failure! Let Mikaela Shiffrin drink her first espresso martini & sack out on her bed clutching her medal 🥹

It’s been a century of struggle for women to get to do this 😔

HCR quotes generously from Illinois Gov Pritzker’s speech yesterday: the guy’s got it

I love his historical callback to the clash between Gov Altgeld & Pres Cleveland during the 1894 Pullman strike! 😅 Chicago history ftw ✊

Nope! No connection 😞

Haha: I loved Andor 😄 despite the Death Star plot

One of the virtues of the original SW was its depiction of a future full of seedy ruins and forgotten provinces, and Andor picked up that aesthetic. Maybe being filmed in the UK was part of it: those set designers are great at gloom and grime

Trump administration deported some migrants at a cost of $1 million each, Democratic report says | CNN Politics The Trump administration has spent more than $30 million to send migrants to far-flung countries that are not their own, including, in a few instances, paying over $1 million a person, a new report fr...

No: I think they are just waiting for a change in administration 😔 The NYT article is bringing welcome attention, as is this CNN story

You’d think being married to a US citizen would mean something 😓

I started to get really mad about how one of those DSs was draining a sun and that would mess up the gravity of the whole system 😡 and it took me right out of whatever human drama was supposed to be happening.

I think there was a fight scene?? Irrationally?

One of the men deported is a friend’s husband: they have 3 kids 😭

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Whatever Star Wars sequel brought back a SECOND Death Star — and then, my god, was there a third?

It’s time for a new subculture. What’s it going to be?

This is a lovely appreciation of Jackson for those of us who still remember speeches he gave in the 80s 🌈
