Thinking of writing about OCD & of the form(at)s & modes that could support symptoms like reassurance seeking, justice seeking, a sense of foreshortened future, intrusive thoughts, & more.

Of course, the obsessive forms of the sestina, villanelle, & pantoum come to mind.

But maybe a new form?

U.S. Argues That Detained Protesters Can’t Seek Release in Federal Court A federal appeals court heard arguments over whether noncitizens subject to deportation have the right to challenge their detentions using one of the oldest legal precepts.

Dissent isn't grounds for deportation.

If the Trump administration's arguments are adopted, it would grant them unconstitutional and unprecedented power to censor our speech.

Jane Fonda Relaunches Committee for the First Amendment With Support of 550 Celebrities Including Pedro Pascal, Viola Davis and More Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment with the support of Pedro Pascal, Viola Davis and more.

My body likes to remind me it is a sack of bones & a storm cloud of intrusive thoughts

Having chronic illness flare due to life stress even when you’re doing your best to take care of yourself is like tending dutifully to a garden only to have a drought & no other access to water

Made a bouquet & found (what I believe to be) a Goldenrod Crab Spider 🥹 I didn’t realize until I was in the car, well on my way from Greensboro to Durham, & so I did my best to give her an access point back into nature

Your word combinations are unparalleled. The spreads you lay before us are abundant. And you know what else? You are BELOVED by so many people, including me 💕🦪

Thrilled I got to be there tonight to celebrate one of my dearest friends in the world as she launched her first book into the world! Congratulations, Jameela Dallis on ENCOUNTERS FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD (@riverriverbooks.bsky.social)!

Winter is coming.

I’d love to hear from #rhetcomp folks, #librarians, other #professors & #academics, & #informationliteracy experts.

At what point are we telling students that not all sources with a .gov url have accurate & unbiased information? In the past, we’ve always suggested that it was a fair bet these websites were credible sources for students’ writing. What now?
