I wrote about Claire Baglin’s seething debut novella for @thenation.com and spend considerable time interrogating how literature depicts working class labor (especially amid so many books/tv series/films set in the corporate workplace). I hope you’ll read! 🍟

We ain't stopping until we get the rights we deserve!
We hit the Fells Point area recently, putting up flyers around the neighborhood & in supportive businesses!
We need @senbillferg.bsky.social, @mddems.bsky.social, & @mdhousedems.bsky.social to help us get this bill over the line this session!
What an incredible event Wednesday night!
Higher Ed workers from all over Maryland came together to tell MD legislators why we need collective bargaining rights!
Hosted by @redemmas.org & sponsored by @aftmaryland.bsky.social, @baltimoreteachers.bsky.social, & @ydsa.org!
Did you know that almost all other Maryland state workers have the collective bargaining rights that give them a meaningful say in their workplaces.
@senbillferg.bsky.social, @mddems.bsky.social, & @mdhousedems.bsky.social, MD’s faculty deserve these same rights!
Why do we want collective bargaining rights?
Part 2...of thousands!

Don't count on your institutions to defend you in the coming onslaught on higher ed.
Only way to protect ourselves is to organize, organize, organize!

Please come out to our final event this semester! We'll have coffee, snacks, and good company at 4105 Hornbake (above the career center), 12-4 PM on Tuesday 12/12. We'll also have postcards you can fill out to tell the Maryland Senate why we deserve collective bargaining rights!
apparently it's page proofs season 😓
Looking forward to participating in this symposium today, where I’ll be presenting some new work on deskilling and intimate labor in Catherine Lacey’s The Answers.
if you're in the vicinity, i'll be at stony brook university next friday for what looks to be an excellent symposium
stayed at one of these in portland once. weird scene.
if a publisher contacts you directly about the release of one of their books with a few paragraphs of summary, suggests galleys are available, and invites you to pitch a review, do you take that as a targeted invitation based on your particular expertise or a just mass email? (asking for a friend)
happy birthday!
thanks!

i get the impulse not to speak ill of the dead except that those who tend to follow this impulse are hesitant to speak ill of the dead when they are living, too, which is at the heart of the problem
