Life update: I told my parents and siblings, I told my students, and I now I can tell y'all.

This week, I was diagnosed with cancer. They say it's treatable. They say it's early. But it's always early until it's late.

The link for both ads is below.

Damn, the bald eagle had an interim gig for 240 years before they made it official. Shout-out to being dedicated to the grind.

I'm old enough to remember Oregon 59, Florida State 20; Alabama 38, Michigan State 0; Clemson 31, Ohio State 0; Clemson 30, Notre Dame 3; LSU 63, Oklahoma 28. Those were playoff semis, with brand names getting smoked. Don't act like is the first time we've seen playoff blowouts.

And we really do mean it when we say there are opportunities to teach in other parts of our department. You have interests
in literature and creative writing? We need you. Literature and restorative justice? Come on down. Literature and Southern studies? Welcome to the party.

The Monstars stole our ability to play football. That's all I got for this game.

Super! Alina book announcements are the best announcements.

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

Dear humans,
Just wanted to share something I've been quiet about, in the year of my usual self-doubt, with gratitude to @sarabandebooks and to many others whom I look forward to thanking in the coming months, MY HERESIES, forthcoming in April 2025. 🖤

Imagine bringing a scab tiger to the game and getting worked like this.

I love seeing my team win.

Of course the Rebels were going to go extra hard this weekend.

Now we either get an actual movement together or we don’t. Put up or shut up time. And there are way too many lives on the line to fail.

Whatever happens today, let's work to make this place a little better today. And the next day. And the next.

Happy for South Carolina. College football needs silly 8-4 football.

First half Carson Beck is a real thing.

And all the thanks to Autofocus for letting me talk to another friend about their success. In a perfect world, I would split my time between listening to my friends talk about their successes and fining companies who have their fans turning in the wrong direction.

[Jason McCall @JasonMcCall4]

All the thanks to Tasha for taking time out of winning to talk to me about winning. I had fun with this conversation, and I think Tasha gave us a lot of great tips on how to be serious about writing/art without taking writing/art too seriously.
