My interview with @EmilyVanDuyne about her revolutionary book on Plath is up at @veryeager! It encapsulates and solidifies so much about Plath that seemed true but lacked evidence until Emily worked through the massive amount of new archival materials. Thanks, Emily, for so much!

Last summer, my wife (big brain) made me watch all of Vanderpump Rules so I could take a break from my academic writing and stop thinking for a second. I (also big brain) played reverse uno and instead enrolled her to think and write with me about Vanderpump Rules.

In honor of #PumpRules returning tonight, I wrote about what I think is the show’s narrative drive: domestic and romantic instability. #Scandoval showed how VPR is formally, narratively, and aesthetically built on domestic strife and precarious intimacies. Check it out! – at Phoenixville, PA

FRIENDS! @oliviastowell and I edited and contributed to a collection of essays about Vanderpump Rules for @veryeager! It was a dream to do. Our contributors are witty and smart. We’re here to prove that reality tv is a subject worthy of scholarly inquiry. @BravoTV and @Andy – at Trappe, PA

Without hope or agenda, just because it’s Xmas (and at Xmas you tell the truth), I am forever grateful to Socially Distant Movie Night leaders @briallenhopper @ProfCKHong for this article and, more importantly, for diligently choosing the best/worst rom coms ever for us to watch.

Preparing my essay on why Sandra Bullock’s performance in All About Steve is in fact excellent when considered as a parody of generic conventions which was obviously lost on the Razzie people.
