I don't want to start a fight, but I would love to hear from someone who really enjoyed this book. With such rave reviews, I'm clearly in the minority: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/my-year-of-r…

I really enjoy the Knives Out/Benoit Blanc series, even if I often feel a little dim while watching them: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/wake-up-dead…

My last read of 2025 was pretty fun, and I learned a lot about the Spanish Inquisition! reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/the-familiar…

I still think about the scene in the parking lot from this movie. Woman of the Hour: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/woman-of-the…

Please tell me that someone (anyone) else watched Wicked Little Letters on Netflix? I would hate to think this absolute gem was overshadowed by...Love is Blind: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/wicked-littl…

I hope that 2026 brings me at least one read as funny and memorable as Good Material by Dolly Alderton: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/good-materia…

Did it feel "good" to read Parable of the Sower for the first time in 2025? No. But considering it was written in the 1970's about an imagined 2025 it certainly was timely: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/parable-of-t…

Looking back on one of the most beautiful books I read in 2025: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/days-at-the-…

Did any of you see The Chair on Netflix with Sandra Oh? I can't say this movie is like that at all, but in some ways equally true and equally out of touch. I guess you could say I had thoughts... After The Hunt: open.substack.com/pub/reneesrush…

My mom and I joke about how sometimes, against your will, you end up reading another book about WWII set in Europe. I was so glad to read something that had a less Western and less "main stage" angle: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/pachinko-by-…

A college professor reading novels about teaching as an escape from grading? There's a joke here somewhere...open.substack.com/pub/reneesrush…

I started a Substack in back in October to review the media I consume. Kind of like if @Letterboxd and @Goodreads had an all-inclusive baby. The reviews are written quickly, and aren't very cool, but against my better judgement, I'm going to share them: reneesrushedreviews.substack.com/p/the-searcher…

Is anyone else's Twitter (X) feed total crap? I WANT to see updates from people I know, and the exciting things they are doing and thinking...but I mostly see garbo and click-bait on my feed. Anyone else?a

Me, when I have to introduce myself to my students. #AcademicTwitter

Today, in the new year, I reflect on what an inspirational woman in my life once said to me: "Renee, the Delete button in your email STILL goes to a folder." Hoping to be more liberal with deleting in 2025. (It was @ChelseaEMoss)

@lanikaps @voguemagazine This list is correct.

In honor of Nora Ephron at the Movies, I ranked all of Nora Ephron's movies for @voguemagazine and you might be surprised by some of my choices !! vogue.com/article/all-of…

I had office hours with my MA students today where they could drop in and talk through their final projects with me if they were in the mood. Several came, and those interactions made my whole day. Real life is full of good, smart, and kind people.

The credit union outside my apartment in Eugene is playing...what I think is marimba? I'm not mad at it. @McclaranNikki party at my place?

🥰Great to work with both old and new friends, and explore AI from a PR practice lens: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… cc: @RitaMen_UF @april_cenyue @dzdavis @alvinyxz @Alrawi__Ahmed

@shoreingber Duh, come work at @uoregon careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/5339…
