Gwyn! This is a tough question. I’m a huge sucker for anthologies (a ton of articles and excerpts bound together available right at your fingertips? What’s not to love?). These are probably what I’d have on my syllabus, er um, for a class about two seemingly unrelated topics? BUT if I could combine two of my favorite things to read or think or talk about, which would be Racism and Race with big r’s (especially pertaining to the US’s legal system) and rhetoric and the epistemological aspect of it, I would teach the shit out of that class. I actually met another intern this summer who took a class on the rhetoric of racism at UT-Austin and I was fucking in love with the idea for a class and I wish I could have taken it. I’m actually interested in trying to see if I can get this book (aptly titled “The Rhetoric of Racism”) through a friend’s interlibrary loan. So that’s a samplin’ of what I’d have on the ol’ syllabus were I the esteemed and most holy Dr. Gennizel. Specifically, I’d make students read Crenshaw’s intersectional stuff and a lot of Derrick Bell and Burke’s rhetoric of motives and a lot of modern/postmodern rhetorical theory because, eh, why the heck not?!

The cleverness of it all! <3

The episode I was watching was about Lassie getting super depressed because she thought a dog puppet was dead. I'm consoled by the fact that even super dogs get the blues. 

I know! I want to build it right now but I jsut realised that it's a bit problematic to hoarding all those cookies and not eat them in advance.

Oh, Gilda Radner...

As above, and with a definite hello. No question about it.
