Successful holiday party today with way too much food; thanks for bringing and taking home things, everyone! Happy holidays :)

[PEN Society @dppensociety]

Happy birthday, Sylvia! Her raw and candid works were among the first of the confessional poetry genre and are still celebrated 56 years after her death. “I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.”

[PEN Society @dppensociety]

Flix from today’s meeting! We discussed Allen Ginsberg’s poem, “Europe! Europe!” in which he displays his frenzied thoughts on politics, love and the state of the world through descriptive details.

Going on a pen follow spree because I refuse to watch this account suffer

Me: “oh no I forgot to take pics!”
@karennotkafka : “what are you gonna do, take a picture of me talking?”
@GrecoRoaming : “Don’t worry, I did!”

[PEN Society @dppensociety]

Pics from yesterday’s meeting! We had an insightful discussion about the issue of censorship, specifically with the case of Anne Frank’s diaries.

[PEN Society @dppensociety]

Happy birthday, Oscar Wilde! (Conveniently not long after coming out day). We celebrate Wilde not only for his insightful & descriptive works, but for his unjust imprisonment due to his suspected homosexuality in a time where anything of the sort was seen as immoral.

@arhi39 @ncte Our club @dppensociety has fishbowls (on various topics), creates blackout poetry, analyzes short works, hosts read-alouds, workshops college essays, reviews episodes and films... The students are responsible for our activities (to ensure our meetings never feel like a class).

@MayonaiseAndYam This account must showcase pen society’s class before we start straight goofin alright respect the image

[PEN Society @dppensociety]

Successful viewing of 1984, the play! We will hold a discussion debriefing what we saw for members that didn’t get to come after school. (Manic pictures have the most charisma okay..)

The moralists can discern right from wrong but only the nerds know the difference between right and rite and write and wright

[Ken M @horseysurprise]

It’s oddly cathartic to realize I’ll never be able to pay off my student loan from when I borrowed $400 from a student

Talks of firearms!

Every child of the 80s has a story about accidentally dropping their fax machine in the toilet

Harket's Law: When "Take On Me" by A-ha is played, the number of people who can hear it is DIRECTLY proportional to the probability that the highest note in the chorus will be sung out of tune.

[Ken M @horseysurprise]

Nothing debases great songs quite like the medley, the Human Centipede of the song world

[joon woon @yojenwern]

And the jump scares.......I still shudder......
