One of the super cool things about this essay was how Alice takes the experience of reading and thinking about Morrison and connects it to her own life, an ocean away.

I've never had two essays in the same volume deal with locations in the same city, but I love how Ashley's essay about Lakeview Park plays off Tara's reflections on Morrison's childhood home.

Evidence that @harvilla understands his demographic at the deepest level: middle-aged Midwestern man listening to a podcast about 90s music while cleaning up from a flood

Absolutely unsurprising—yet still damning—to read the stats about Florida university professors fleeing the state that Dew cites in this column. It doesn't have to be this way. tampabay.com/opinion/2024/0…

Thanks to Bitter Southerner for publicizing resistance to FL censorship efforts: “School board elections are winnable,” Moricz said. “The margins are winnable. We’re able to show students that if one marching band voted, they could flip a school board.” bittersoutherner.com/feature/2024/c…

@fewstein In the Midwest I’d say Sujey Vega’s Latino Heartland, Adam Ochonicky’s The American Midwest in Film and Literature, and (at the risk of self-promotion) my own: Old-Fashioned Modernism

More and more people—in tech companies, consultancies, regulators, universities, among others—are saying this and proving it to be true: AI does very bad work and creates more labor for humans. crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-…

The 8 levels of Midwestern Anger 8. “Woah woah woah” 7. “Hold your horses” 6. “Jeez Louise” 5. “No sh*t Sherlock” 4. “For Pete’s sake” 3. “Well, now wait a minute” 2. “For crying out loud” 1. “Listen here pal”

Faculty are not "better" than other state employees. But they are different. They are hired for their ideas, not to reflect the views of the state. Ban them from expressing those ideas, and you no longer have a university; you have a propaganda factory. insidehighered.com/news/faculty-i…

The differences between Vance and Walz couldn’t demonstrate this tipping point more clearly

With all the stories and commentary about Walz’s Midwestern masculinity, I’m feeling pretty good about the conclusion to Old-Fashioned Modernism
