Appreciate this. Digging deeper is effortful and fruitful. I see the curiosity you spoke about yesterday in H*W's Tuesday Teaching, which, I must say was golden. Thank you.

I love how you dig beneath the easy surface and encourage us to do the same.

Thank you! It's so important to let "things take the time they take." (M.O.)

So good, Lore. Sounds like Patricia Lockwood found a clever and effective way to tackle this issue! Grateful for writers who do the work of cultural analysis/excavation. Anyway, your review and discussion resonates with me because for the past few weeks, I’ve been working on an essay addressing “the thing beneath the thing” (one of the things, anyway) for me. It’s taking forever, of course.

It was clever and effective. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about it, especially because I know you've had to weigh all the pros/cons of SM and what it's doing to our brains and hearts.
