Today I'm prepping for the @syracuseu.bsky.social Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence August programs. I buy CTLE decorative items with my own $$ but only purchase secondhand stuff for budgetary & environmental reasons. Behold my summer thrift store scores!

Cover of Superman Smashes the Klan #3, showing Superman, Lan-Shin Lee and her brother staring proudly ahead with the Metropolis skyline behind them.

Superhero comics have a long & troubling history of using racist stereotypes & caricatures. β€œSuperman Smashes the Klan” reckons with the emotional and material effects of that history, showing how pop culture can both perpetuate bigotry and inspire us to resist it. 1/13 #Superman

Can't wait to dig in to a book which is sure to be full of incisive insights, delightfully snarky prose, and deep research. Because that is how @geekypedagogy.bsky.social does it.

@djkirkbride.bsky.social reminded me why I loved teaching classes on the history of pop culture & especially superheroes. This archival Superman PSA was my featured office door decoration for years.

Easy Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake This chocolate mug cake recipe is easy to make in the microwave for an individual-sized fudgy chocolate treat in less than 10 minutes! Great for a last-minute dessert.

I don't know if you need to hear this, but let me remind you that you can grab a mug and in a few minutes, make a teensy cake, just for yourself.
