So glad Hulu's "Rivals" reworked all the nasty misogyny & sexual violence of "Rivals". Just read the novel & realized I'd be Taggie's age & likely would have found it romantic; now my daughter is her age & I'm appalled we'd root for her & Rupert to fall in love. #Rivals #1980s

To escape politics & because I'm teaching #PrideandPrejudice, I watched Hallmark's "Paging Mr Darcy". If I'd only known that if I gave a lecture in Regency dress & danced w/ the organizer's hot nephew I could land a tt job at Princeton, I'd have saved myself years of research & struggle!

With just under 50 days to go until #Bridgerton season 3, I guess it's a good time for another plug of the special journal issue. Read all about Eloise as the 'thinking woman'; wives and 'spinsters' (by yours truly); and more. @dramamen.bsky.social intellectdiscover.com/content/jour...

I know Morrissey is an old grump now but I adore this song. Teaching "A Taste of Honey" this week so getting in the mood. A 1956 play that deals with teen pregnancy, alcoholism, race prejudice, homosexuality & abortion as crimes- yes, sadly relevant in 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBq...
