Very important story but the illustration unfairly maligns the noble and big-hearted Don Quixote!

By several times!

My tenure was official in September of 2020, and this really resonates with me.

Suddenly started singing along with Call Me Maybe at a rest stop and scared a stranger half to death. Sorry to that man.

CUNY 💪

Reader, I am not.

5yo: “Mommy, are you Old Money?”

So good.

Tickled that we are both Team Kayne.

8yo’s teacher for next year sent a letter encouraging him to start becoming familiar with the classics. So today I introduced him to Project Runway.

Yes, but is it ever enough? 😅

Summer recs, both v. ruined-attention-span-friendly:

J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country

Sarah Orne Jewett, Country of the Pointed Firs

Superficially similar (artist goes to small town for summer, is changed). But also both quiet, moving, w lovely sentences. Read both, then let’s talk about them.

Arguably, “Party in the USA.”

8yo: “Wouldn’t it be cool if there were an Inside Out 3 and Riley was a mom and had new emotions? And one of them could be INDIGNITY.”

Early Modern Biblionerds: I’m looking for some thick books before 1700. what is the longest book (in pages, not words) printed before 1700? what about in quarto format?

One of my all-time favorites!

That’s my other kid! 😂

She’s a big fan! I think she’d be fine with it cold. 😂

I make my kids get school lunch during the school (#meanmom), but we have to pack their lunch for most camps. For lunch tomorrow, 5yo has requested linguine alla vongole. This is why I make them get school lunch!

‘Ugh! As If!’ Takes On The Enduring Appeal Of ‘Clueless’ | Defector In the mid-to-late ’90s, I was part of a girl gang that invaded suburban homes across the top half of New Jersey. We left our clothes strewn across various surfaces in your carpeted basements, ate you...

Millennials may be getting older, but our pop culture stays *the same age* (fun, I mean, HELLO, we're the kids of America)... making my DEFECTOR debut with a review essay on "Clueless"

Won’t someone just tell me what to do?

Listening to @dhersh.bsky.social run dissertation writing boot camp this week, and I wish I were allowed to sign up for dissertation writing boot camp.

This is why I really hated the part about how it would generate resources to keep the press afloat. None of this is in the interest of our industry, including the press!

Yeah, I was not a fan of the email!

Honestly, I appreciate this because I share your ambivalence! Thanks for replying.

Ah thanks. I hadn’t gotten that far yet. I should read through.

I feel totally bonkers. It’s just…common knowledge!

Ha! JHUP didn’t even offer me that. 😂

As I wrote to someone else: They scare you because it’s like “they probably already have it, but this way would have legal guardrails.” But that wouldn’t change the piracy anyway? Nice try.
