The Bride was a poetic, slightly intoxicating carnival ride of a movie. playful in the most deadly serious of ways. I do recommend

randomly popped in to a panel on Chicana literatures. happy to 1) learn the term querencia and 2) add Jennifer Gihvan's Trinity Sight to my reading list, among many other neat ideas about postcolonial alternate futures from all the panelists

and yes we can argue about whether Critical Role really counts as a podcast during q&a
#SWPACA26
presenting at #SWPACA26 this afternoon, all about (what else?) podcast, transcripts, access, inclusion, and how fan communities help make things happen. specifically featuring @criticalrole.bsky.social and @naddpod.bsky.social and @themcelroyfamily.bsky.social

This isn't new news, Substack has been known-shitty for years. But, worth shouting for the people at the back www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

how am I, a college professor who has almost only ever ever taught adult learners, just now learning the word "andragogy"?
why has all the teacher training I ever received just gone with "pedagogy"?
hmmmm.
aw thanks :)
pretty weird to have kept an old classproject blog for so long
books. the best escape.
(I'm also pretending I didn't google Kunstler, leaning into the death of the author, and hoping my grandma wouldn't've really agreed with the guy's delusional reactionaryness. sigh.)
more importantly, Naomi Novik is super amazing

"...for as the uprising of that spirit drove the tyrant from our shores in 1776, so it has ever since arisen, and still will rise to deliver our country from the perils of the hour..."

what sugary fuel will best keep me focused for the next several hours of finishing up all my tenure application documents on this everso exciting Friday night?

and on top of seconding all the Prarchett of course, these 2:
The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell (a GBBOesque mystery recommended by all the ladies at my craft store, multiple pov narrators, so charming)
The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks Dalton (maybe you've read this one cuz climate apocalypse?)
I also had a Barbara Kingsolver phase for a minute-- Animal Dreams and her book of poems were the best in audio I think

happy solstice to all

aww so happy/excited for you! check out the Bromeliad Trilogy too. ostensibly they are kids' books but they're just so lovely and thoughtful and fun I cannot gush about them enough
