Trivial matter. Not that anybody asked, but I trul Trivial matter. Not that anybody asked, but I truly hate the tv show ALIEN: EARTH. The writing is TERRIBLE. A lot of the later Alien movies are also terrible with characters who are supposed to be scientists who are chortling jokey idiots. On Alien: Earth, my elderly dachshund could make better decisions than these characters do. He has a more instinctive grasp of basic security measures. I told my students I would try to finish it so we could talk about it but…ugh. 

There are so many things that offend and annoy me about this show.

“Alternating spreads frame this comprehensive double biography of married activists Grace Lee Boggs (1915–2015) and James Boggs (1919–1993) authored by Shin and Mangal. Following Grace Lee Boggs from her Rhode Island birth and James Boggs from his Alabama upbringing, free-verse lines delineate each figure’s early experiences with discrimination and their 1953 meeting in Detroit. Both involved in the union movement, they collaborate on a newspaper, “writing and publishing/ FOR the workers.” Along the way, the two also fall for each other and marry: “It didn’t matter that... their relationship/ was illegal/ in parts of the country.” A painterly approach distinguishes exemplary portraiture from multimedia artist Barlow, making a picture book debut; the characters’ expressions convey both their connection and their fervent passion for fighting for equity across a work about “a true/ collaboration,/ a union/ of love/ and struggle.” Creators’ notes and more conclude. Ages 7–11. (Nov.)”
I look tired because I was tired but it was a joy I look tired because I was tired but it was a joy to see my Korean teacher and friend  @a_fig_tree (for the second time this week!) at the @graywolfpress annual event last night and also to hear the marvelous @dainstapoet read from his forthcoming work Without Terminus! It was good to see many lovely community people out to support independent publishing and great books. I’m grateful for this community and for people supporting the humanities. Thank you, @graywolfpress, for supporting authors ❤️
