American Students Are Starving for Fiction and Poetry - The Bulwark
Several writers have recently called attention to the decline of literature in American schools. Nathan Heller’s much-circulated New Yorker article “The End of the English Major” examined the slow death of fiction and poetry in colleges and universities.

I'm seeing SKY'S END's final book cover at the same time as my students. It's happening at my school's final assembly and my publisher is sending the cover to my wife, then it'll be projected.
I cant wait. My students are super excited. 😀

When I got a book deal, I'd been teaching my 7th period. The email came in, then I shouted, "Oh my gosh!"
My students looked up. First in fear, then worry that I was going to pass out because my face changed color.
Then they all cheered when I announced.

For today's #1LineADay , here is the very first line of the book:
"Humanity’s capacity for limitless feats of imagination and progress is tempered only by its marginally greater tendency to stab itself in the foot.”

In response to ManKillah Fruitface.
I am a behavioural scientist. If you "forgive" a perpetrator, it only serves to give them license to repeat their harmful behaviour. In general, don't forgive; set boundaries; impose consequences and recognise the red flags if anyone else hints at similar behaviour. ✌

In response to ManKillah Fruitface.
Forgiveness is subjective from person to person on both ends. Some things can't be forgiven & no one is owed someone else's forgiveness. Forgiving for misunderstandings and other petty issues can be cathartic and allow for more "happiness" but forgiveness and happiness are not mutually exclusive.

In response to indie perfume lover.
Agree. Forgiving the unrepentant is just a recipe for more abuse. Also steps 2 and 3: get the fuck away from the abusers and their flying monkeys, and fully accept that you will never, ever, be "normal" but you will nonetheless be healed.

Been fed that bs my whole life, too. Took me 'til my 60s to realize um yeah no, I *don't* have to forgive those who were supposed to love me but instead damaged me. *That's* what has *finally* set me free from my inner struggles and put me on a path to healing....

If our friendship is dependent on me supporting your business, I don't want it.
Too often people don't want friendship, they just want someone they can use when they feel like it.

This is the point I was making earlier. Some folks in the media will hype Bluesky as they did with Mastodon and Post News. It's troubling that certain individuals would suggest Bluesky knowing what happened under Jack's watch. Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+ users were harassed way before Elon took over.
