Teaching PARASITE!
I’d solicited Parasite readings on Twitter and Facebook, and there was some interest in the results, so I figured I’d consolidate what i’m doing on the blog for anyone who wants to see what I’ll be doing.

Dan Hassler-Forest, “Bong Joon-ho: Love in the Time of Capitalism”Matthew Flisfeder, “Capitalism is the Parasite; Capitalism is the…

And these…

Lost Semester Linkblogging!
For a variety of reasons, this was an extremely busy semester, and I simply wasn’t able to keep up with my open tabs (I had several hundred open at one point!). An irrecoverable browser crash killed any possibility of ever doing even an omnibus record of what I’ve been reading and thinking about — but I do have a tiny number of highlights from the semester that I will link here just to close the…

I’m a little scared. 6 hours away from everyone I know in a town I have never been to before. What if I don’t make any friends? :(

Rumrunner’s Cove, Marquette, MI. During prohibition small boats would hide within the natural rock walls of the cove and unload boxes of liquor. Metal anchor’s staked into the sides of the cliffs are still present where the boats could be tied up during the operation. Now a favorite spot of many Marquette residents for swimming and cliff jumping!
