That's an interesting bucket on your list. Hope it gets filled.
I’d definitely start watching it again if you get cast!
That’s awesome!!
I have several friends that did this in GA since my home town is about 30min from the Alexandria set in Senoia . They loved it!
I really hope you do this!!!
At the college where I used to work, there was a multidisciplinary class taught about the zombie apocalyspe. I volunteered to be a zombie as part of their final event. The theater department students did our make-up. Best day of my academic career! I'm the one chewing on a foot.
Susan, we live in GA. They film on our road all the time and in our little town of Senoia . Come to GA and get the walking dead tour!! And some fresh peaches too!!
Good luck!! 😀

So excited for you and a little jealous!

Good luck!
They requested to rent Veritas this summer for the zombie actor training. Since we have camps going on, we had to decline. 😲
Oh that sounds so fun

Here are some valuable weekend reflections for you...
"Fallow time is necessary to grow everything from actual crops to figurative ones, like books and children. To do the work, we need to rest, to read, to reconnect. It is the invisible labor that makes creative life possible."
www.nytimes.com/2019/06/21/opinion/summer-lying-fallow.html
"'You have this culture of posturing, and this culture that glorifies the most absurd things and ignores things like self-care, and ignores things like therapy, and ignores things like actually taking care of yourself as a physical being for the sake of work at all costs. It’s a toxic problem,' said Mr. Ohanian."

"I never need to know why you chose to watch season 1 of 'Arrested Development' (for the 4th time) on your flight to LA instead of answering emails."

We need to rest, to read, to reconnect. It is the invisible labor that makes creative life possible.4 days ago
I have a very hard time relaxing. I always feel like I should be doing something.My mother is the same way. I love the sentence"be open to the invitation to replenish yourself."
Just the reminder I needed. Thanks!
And have a sense of humor joke around!
So good! Thank you for sharing.
I agree with this so much. When I was in my thirties I had Occupational Therapy for CFS/ME, and it was only then that I understood how necessary it is to create spaces and take breaks.
The headline makes me twitchy. I am not ready to read the whole article. I am convicted enough peeking at facebook and reading this post.
I used to call it "sideways time" when I was growing up.
Amen!
Love this

Disclaimers: I'm not a Mamet fan, to put it mildly. And as a historian, I'm constitutionally suspicious of "the liberal establishment is ruining the good old order." Always a short-sighted, ahistorical position. (ALWAYS. Also when put the other way around.)
On the other hand...
I've had this experience so often: asked to write something "as a [homeschooling][academic][professional][working][insert adjective] woman", as opposed to being...asked to WRITE something.
"Condoleezza Rice was approached by a professor of English and asked to recommend a book by a black woman, to round out the racially and sexually sensitive curriculum. Rice said, 'How about my The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army, 1948–1983?'
"The other woman was, of course, nonplussed, for (if an explanation is required) she did not want a book by a black woman, but a book by same about being a black woman: that Rice had other interests and excellences was moot; she was to be admired not as a writer, but as a prop."
Some good points here ("..generations of schoolchildren have had their interest in reading destroyed by The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye," CHECK that), and also an interesting list of recommendations, which I offer to you for exploration and without endorsement, since I'm only familiar with about a third of them.

Which is not the same category as women’s writing.5 days ago
I am occasionally desired by congenital imbeciles and the editors of magazines to say something about the writing of detective fiction “from the woman’s point of view.” To such demands, one can only say “Go away and don’t be silly. You might as well ask what is the female angle on an equilateral triangle. —Dorothy Sayers, “Are Women Human?”
I've always wanted to be asked to recommend the best women's magazine so I could say "The Economist."
Wow! I just added about twenty books to my TBR pile 😂
BTW, I would add to the list: Os Lusíadas de Camões (The Lusiads by Camoens).
I saved this article for future book list making. Thanks for sharing. ☺️
Oh I have always loved The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye. Those books didn’t ruin my interest in reading. Teachers do that to students.
I had to laugh because both The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye are on my son's reading list for high school. I enjoyed the first, but have never read the second (have plans to read it over the summer, however). I'm thinking maybe we'll do those as audiobooks.
Adding to my reading list. Side bar: I have always admired Dr. Rice. I find her highly educated, well spoken, and genuine.
Looking forward to reading some of these authors. Thank you!
Charlotte Temple is one of my all time favorite books. This is the first time I have ever seen Rowson's name in any list of recommendations, and I don't know anyone else who's read it. And Sedgwick, too, though I have not read the Linwoods.
Adding some new authors to my summer list! Thanks!
I completely agree with the article's discussion of Uncle Tom's Cabin. That's the first I've read in print what I discovered about Uncle Tom's character when I finally read the book for myself.
I think I could write a book on the topic of presumptions itself.
Thank you
I was just having this conversation with my kid about an hour ago. How funny that I am sitting down to read this article now. We talked about teachers scrubbing their shelves of literature that does not conform to the popular narrative and how it kind of felt like a downward spiral into a dystopia under the guise of progress. I fear all that will be left is pablum that echoes the war cry of the current trend.
Great read!! So many more books added to my book list 📚
I don't care for his plays but his passion about books is undeniable in this article!!
Or how about Laura ingalls Wilder who was removed from a book award for accurately portraying 1800s tribalism. 🤔
Very interesting!
If I may... I would urge you to write a dystopia showing how a post-apocalyptical world could only be saved through the rescue of the values (Roman Laws, Greek Philosophy, and Judeo-Christian Religion), which helped to shape the face of Western Civilization.
Megan Ogeal Murray soooo many books in this article ❤️😍

Just curious... why not a Mamet fan?
