Reader, reviewer, and all around rascal. I tweet all the stuff your mama warned you about and primarily use the "like" button as a bookmark.

@gtconway3d @EVargasTV That’s what Febreze is for.

@DudleyCorgi I am so sorry. Dudley was my gateway to Corgis on Twitter and I love both him and Stella. Thank you for your generosity in sharing their lives with us.

@oldenoughtosay @UrsulaV In the US, Timothy hay is highly desirable for horses. Lots of health benefits.

@foolofapup I grew up in Redding, and am relishing this gorgeous photo - I can almost smell the autumn air from CA. Pippin is pretty cute, too.😃Thanks for sharing.

@MMBrussell @jayrosen_nyu @CBCNewshound I keep wanting to think about this as an issue of interpellation, too, eg., the extent to which journalists are seduced by the archetype. Then onto the mimetic v. memetic analysis.

[Robin L. @redrobinreader]

@MMBrussell @jayrosen_nyu @CBCNewshound Well, definitely a narrative effect (which does not rule out network effect). But even phenomena like memetic normalization spring in part from archetypal imagery diffused through literary/artistic (cultural and commercial) production.

[Robin L. @redrobinreader]

@jayrosen_nyu @MMBrussell @CBCNewshound Well, aren't there parallels between the romantic version of the LR (wild, lawless hero who is 'tamed' by love) and the journalistic version? Seductive (breathless coverage), exciting (scandal!), the implied promise he might change, etc.

@Kaetrin67 I know, it sucks. Subject change: how are you doing, Kaetrin?

This analysis is even more powerful when you remember that abortion was legal (generally through 1st trimester), relatively safe, and accessible in the US from Colonial to Antebellum periods. https://t.co/z8BtrLmC9r

@LeahLitman @ProfMMurray Reading Plessy, Brown, and Dobbs together would be an interesting exercise. Plessy's bad faith argument that legal equality can exist without political and social equality remains a potent & active racial nationalist myth among the right.

My dog looks like he’s about to share a really bad political opinion

[Robin L. @redrobinreader]

@Kaetrin67 I read an article once that suggested abortion was so common in the US colonies that no one thought it needed to be constitutionally protected.

@fodderyfodder Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s important, and I hope people approach it with compassion and respect.

@dog_rates Could you give this one a little boost?

This is for a friend I've known since 1995. Please help her with her baby!

It's not a big goal as far as the ones that usually link to you but it would help.

@cjewel I agree! Even that guy who chases Beard down to give him back his phone, after chasing him away without it to begin with, is dealing with impending fatherhood.

[Robin L. @redrobinreader]

@cjewel Yes! I actually think the whole series is about masculinity(ies) in general. I also think cruelty has been thematically cognizable in the series since the beginning, so Nate's evolution, shall we say, did not shock me. How can we be better if we don't see it all?
