We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

What an incredible thread.
Someone recently asked me what's the point of having two or three buttons on a tailored jacket if the bottom-most button isn't meant to be fastened? It's easier to understand style if you think of it in terms of social language, not purely as function. Let me give you some examples. 🧵

This week, while studying American Gothicism, I decided my students would read, annotate, and analyze Welcome to the Black Parade lyrics. Needless to say, this was a high point in my educational career so far.

Devoured American Gods by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com over the last three weeks. Easily, easily placed itself in my Top 5 Favorites list. So creative, intriguing, and thought-provoking. Highly recommend.

Heck of a day yesterday! My Secret Santa NAILED it, I had my favorite dinner, and got to see one of NJ’s best pop punk bands open for Midtown! The holidays are truly magical. 😄🎅🏻🎄

Loki is, by far, my favorite Marvel show. And I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but last night’s episode was dreadfully slow, boring, and confusing.

Just sold a bunch of old video games, but I can never get rid of this one. Still wish I had my Pokemon Crystal though!
