Jay BlancWhat I'm saying is that there's only one creative team that has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to produce adaptations of literary classics. And that's why The Muppets should have been allowed to make the Dune movie.

An update on this after a morning of reading and prep: I'm gonna use Wanda Raiford's "FANTASY AND HAITI'S ERASURE IN WILLIAM FAULKNER'S ABSALOM, ABSALOM!" to guide my lesson tomorrow. It's a great article that captures the scholarly conversation about Faulkner's re-visioning (and erasure) of Haitian history and uses it to explore the ways that ignorance is a social construction. 10/10, highly recommend.
Am Lit scholars: What's the best article about Absalom, Absalom! and Haiti? I want to talk to my students about how scholars have dealt with that part of the book. Boosts appreciated.

How is it that the first half of fall semester is only a week and the last half is 12 years long but I still never get anything done?
TamannaI think I am following more white people (apart from Indians) here. Could I get recommendations for people of colour I can follow here?
Please boost.
I wanna see LaPhonso Ellis and Seth Greenberg put on some wrestling tights, get oiled up, and fight to the death.
Rebecca OhSo, this is normally the kind of question I would ask on Twitter. Hoping it will work here too!
I'm changing my #Postcolonial Lit class to have an environmental focus this year. Recs for contained/short pieces on resource extraction or objectification of nature that we can discuss on the first day? I'm thinking maybe images would work well?
John Hurt was 77 years old when he died, but he spent his whole life looking like he was 82.
I'm watching "The Proposition" by the way.
