Well this is going on my required reading list! Congrats to @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social and @johannawinant.bsky.social on an incredible lineup and on elegantly breaking down a practice that, at its best, feels (but never is) effortless.

OK fine here’s mine: the character of Jane Eyre is based on Dorothy Wordsworth

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

oh actually that reminds me that the best one is my friend Jillian's theory about Portrait of a Lady -- that at the end, Henrietta Stackpole is hiding Isabel inside the house

it also seems obvious that Anna Karenina and Isabel Archer must have met in Italy

mine are all very hinged, thank you, as when I insist that it makes so much sense that Ladislaw would have been at the premiere of Beethoven's Ninth

the pilot of this plane just said that we could see the northern lights out of the right side -- where I'm sitting at a window -- and I think I did?

I've long thought some enterprising art historian or intellectual historian or anyone really could design downloadable -- and printable! -- scavenger hunts for many museums for different ages and interests.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

i am feeling, i am seeing, i am hearing, i am getting the vibes, that students this sem are better than they've been in years because learning offers a rare haven from authoritarianism, a place to convene, commune, think together, refuel for the fight

week 7, in a city under siege for 32 days and counting, and the students who are able to come to class despite the blitz are showing up like their lives depend on those 50 minutes of togetherness, poetry, and big questions

IDK, man. School started 2 weeks ago for us, and once again students remind me that they’re so curious and interested in the world and anxious to ask big questions. We hear that these questions are no longer useful or relevant, but wherever that’s coming from, it’s not what students believe.

I almost didn’t post this photo because I look so tired

I think it partly had to do with not being able to program the keycards but still
