Check out Javier Bardem's response to a sexist question about working with his wife, Penélope Cruz ❤️

“you feel me?” brother I haven’t felt anything since the scholastic book fair

Summer reading goal. The joys of no one (especially oppressive English teachers!) telling you what to read.

Bringing speakers the next time I go to Weller Park so I can crank the Challengers soundtrack during my pickleball game.

@Paul_c_Walden I’m glad you still hold fiercely to your “This I Believe” manifesto.

Every day we inch closer to a head of lettuce being considered a sandwich

@_wet_socks_og_ How does one qualify to be considered for this honor

@chuckduck365 I’ll second Midsommar. The Shining, The Thing, and Silence of the Lambs aren’t strictly horror, but they’re all horror adjacent (and great). Most anything Hitchcock.

What’s a good horror movie for someone that’s not usually into horror? (Other than Jordan Peele, only because I’ve already watched and enjoy all his stuff)

@Shamlet Just finished this! It's great.

Spring break reading. The joy of no one (especially oppressive English teachers!) telling you what to read.

If you’re hitting any St. Patrick’s Day parades this Sunday, make sure to keep an eye out for this man.

Great BSU program tonight. Also: These two make me laugh pretty much every day 4th bell.

@TheGoldenArm @MsKellyMHayes Love Andrew Scott’s Hamlet. co-signed, fellow English teacher nerd

@MsKellyMHayes The Denzel Macbeth is pretty stellar. I'm also partial to the Andrew Scott Hamlet, but I'm an English teacher and a nerd.

What my juniors believe.

Hot Fuzz is a Christmas movie.

@MecumHaiku @tomgauld @GuardianBooks Yes please

A Christmas cartoon for @GuardianBooks.

Winter break reading. The joy of no one (especially oppressive English teachers!) telling you what to read.

@TheEnglishSmith It reminded me of Let The Great World Spin and Trust. A whiff of The Overstory too.

@voreben North Woods has been on so many lists this year. I'm looking forward to reading it!

My 2023 Top Ten (er, Eleven), with The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store topping the list. It was delightful. Please share your favorites or anything else you think I would enjoy! Wishing you happy reading in 2024.
