I myself will not be debating this, because, I thankfully will be un-semi-iromically dead, but best of luck Gen Anthropoceopalooza in your scholarly pursuits!

I am making no judgements (aesthetic or otherwise) but I am certain that in 100 years we will be defining, debating, and trying to unpack a notion of "gen-z/alpha semi-irony" that is currently making my Xer-cusp brain burst at its seams.

Unpacking some book boxes and this was on top.

Me, after yet another snow day.

Can we unleash the butter? I think they deserve the butter.

Paul Robeson BY GWENDOLYN BROOKS That time we all heard it, cool and clear, cutting across the hot grit of the day. The major Voice. The adult Voice forgoing Rolling River, forgoing tearful tale of bale and barge and other symptoms of an old despond. Warning, in music-words devout and large, that we are each other's harvest: we are each other's business: we are each other's magnitude and bond.

That time
we all heard it,
cool and clear,
cutting across the hot grit of the day.

—
that we are each other’s
harvest:
we are each other’s
business:
we are each other’s
magnitude and bond.

“Paul Robeson” by the great Gwendolyn Brooks

She had been there four weeks! I paid 250. That money was clearly used for her (and the other kitties) care!

Just got this lady! She had her own cage, with an upstairs and downstairs. They were feeding Hill Science Diet. One of the cats they had was being treated for medical urinary issues, others had surgeries, all were spade or neutered. Behavioral notes. All of that.

My cat has lots if work to do.

They also all think every published writer is making Stephen King money . . .

I was talking to my lit students about the history if acting (and it being a dubious and shady profession for much of history) and they were all like "but actors make tons of money today, right?" and then I had to explain to them about the strikes and what being a working actor actually entails.

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

Liz's books are so good!

I got gift cards with a print out of a local bookstore I should use them at. However, I gave a bunch: Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, Clint Smith's How the Word is Passed, Alex E. Harlow's Once and Future Witches, Kelleye Garrett's Missing White Woman, Kiersten White's Lucy Undying . . .
