White People on Vacation paints a sun-drenched portrait of the young and upwardly mobile as they attempt to attain the good life. It's a beach read for socialists, a swan song for human aspiration in the age of climate apocalypse. Available from Malarkey Books.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I understand why people want to publish with Big 5 presses (the money, the marketing support) but I am reading a lovely book from @traumbooks.bsky.social (my 2nd this year) and I am CONVINCED that small presses are where it's at for good, engaging, risk-taking writing.

Trying to help students get comfortable in with Dickens’ syntax, I stumbled across a post about sentence diagramming by a classical education guy; nothing against sentence diagramming but there’s probably no way to accurately describe it as “classical education.”

Kind of curious how leaning on audio of texts in the classroom impacts reading stamina.
