I was listening to an interview with a British mystery novelist, and he said he constantly had to think of creative means of murder “because we don’t have guns here.” And that felt both incomprehensible and awe-inspiring to my United States mind. A world without gun violence. So easily possible.
Announcing our June #literacies chat, Play and Interaction in Literacy Learning hosted by Dr. Alex Corbitt (alexcorbitt.bsky.social) on 6/30. We can’t wait to see you there!

This interview demonstrates the peril of our current times, how quickly trusted institutions are crumbling under the incorrigible, horrific, idiotic demands of our executive branch. Give it a listen. I was moved by Pelley’s words.
Little better than when warm, sunny read-outside weather finally arrives in Michigan.
A2: I’ve got a whole stack of books on collective memory, including some fun creative nonfiction texts. One example, which should arrive in the mail today, is Lafon’s “When You Listen to This Song: On Memory, Loss, and Writing.” #literacies
My U-M email was thinking wishfully this morning. #OneMoreYear
I was feeling sad about the state of the world last night, so I ordered five books. 🤷🏻♂️
#Literacies grads, our SIG wants to celebrate you and your accomplishments!
I’m so excited to read this!
A1: I’m looking forward to spending the summer putting together job materials, writing my dissertation, and collaborating with some colleagues on a couple of manuscripts. #literacies
