Post45 keeps crushing it. Sara Kippur gets *into it*. I may be drawn to the chapter on the French avant-garde on US tv, but the work is sharp throughout. Your periodic reminder that I am now co-editing the Peer Reviewed side of our journal. Send us your best stuff. www.sup.org/books/litera...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

This is just to say friends, if you have a space or platform to talk about NEH, IMLS, and other such agency cuts, my job is subject to them and as of yet I have no gag order
You guys really don't need the update on this but it's pretty much the hellscape comedy of errors you might suspect. They emailed today to say they are "looking forward to the talk" and only needed me to take the words "race" "activism" "justice" and "gender" out of the title. Lol. Lmao even.
Was scheduled to give a talk for an office of equal opportunity/affirmative action in a couple weeks but that office no longer exists & the website is taken down. No one contacted me but I think it's fair to assume I'm no longer giving the talk. Gonna go schedule some self-care in that time block.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

2/2 and look out for these next three titles, and more to come in 2025! Francisco Robles, Myka Tucker-Abramson, and Sara Kippur. It has been an amazing time to read books in this series, which I co-edit with Loren Glass.
1/2: I won’t be at MLA this year for the first time in years, but if you are, I hope you’ll check out the Post*45 books at the Stanford UP booth! We had three great titles come out in 2024, by Adrienne Brown, Adam Kelly, and Shane Boyle.

Trump says he's wants to privatize USPS because it's "unprofitable". Reminder that the Post Office isn't a for-profit enterprise: it's a public service that guarantees everyone in America reliable, affordable, and universal mail service.
