Also, from my what-to-give-high-school-freshmen-to-read list. I really liked this one. Fantastic. Powerful. It'll be on the book club shelf, but wouldn't likely get away with teaching to this one. John Green. Looking for Alaska

This one from my what-to-give-high-school-freshmen-to-read list. I liked it more than I thought I would. Paper Towns: John Green. Followed this with Looking for Alaska by him as well.

Why are you not reporting on Trump's absence from public for ten days? Is he alive? Covid? Stroke?

Old enough and DID write to encourage my lawmakers to listen to Anita Hill. So "we" is really a bunch of dudes whose indifference in the face of their feelings of power allowed them to think they could ignore "me" and whatever number like me. Just like now. We've always been a kind of autocracy.

Why did I wait to read this? Love all of @joannechocolat.bsky.social 's works. Fantastic! Insight, surprises, not knowing quite who to sympathize with. Wow. Wow. Wow!!! The type of book I want to go take other books out of people's hands and say, "No. Read this one!" Not that I would ever.

Talk about not being what you once were. The NYT has lost its once hallowed reputation, and is now The Inquirer for the rich.

I agree with Wilson. It's Nichols gloating on his take. Democracy has been in trouble for years. But let's focus on a bad debate. He's not addressing any real problem. He's gloating over his inevitably untouched by any of the future cataclysm status as a talking head.

You enjoying this? You do realize you are pushing to create the problem you are pitching about. Every voice like yours is just gluttonous joy at our country's decline because you get to be right. Fuck off. Unsubscribed. Unfollowed.

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

Bad Monkeys: Matt Ruff. We have a class set of this in our school storage. So checked it out. NOT what I was even close to expecting. I enjoyed the game of this book immensely. Sadly, I can see the letters from home if I tried to teach to it. Independent reading offer, perhaps. Yikes!!

I'll take the like as a yes. Just finished The Wake, so I hope it's after that. If not, I'll get it on the next read-through. Thank you, for everything.

Into my third reread of Sandman, but only now thought to look. And, sorry, I am lazy and can't figure out how.
Did you ever use the phrase "teamwork makes the dream work"?

Because it's summer, getting thru a lot of them. THIS BOOK!!! I teach to Huck Finn, so had to check this out. It may become required reading in class. So powerful, so honest, and surprising all the time. So good! I have so many questions for Mr. Everett.

Sandman 10: The Wake. This doesn't feel as sad as I remember the first time. I see the triumph in hard decisions. Gaiman's a master. What else can I say?

This seems bad.
“Gen Z workers are more likely to go to college, have jobs and make more money than millennials did. But they are also paying 31 percent more for housing than their counterparts … health insurance spending for that age group is up 46 percent after inflation.”

Project Pope: Has anyone written about Clifford Simak's long form story endings? This was lining up to be a very strong piece on faith and knowledge, and then just...I dont know. I love the short works. The novels are frustrating me.

I don’t think enough has been written about how the adult is shaped by books read as a kid. For me, Alan Garner, Nicholas Stuart Gray and Tolkien provided me with a worldview that still influences my perspective. I suspect @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com probably agrees with the premise.

Trying to expand teacher brain. This had some good points, but didn't know what it wanted to be. In the middle of the book, there is a how-to se lion of a decent length. Wanting to know how it works and doing it are two different things. But I WILL try to use ideas posited here.
