I’m excited to share my essay on #SabrinaCarpenter ❤️✨

Shared this podcast I did with @NotoriousREL and @gbullard with my modern media students and a few actually listened and liked! We discuss generational differences, nostalgia, and pedagogy. Also: how delightfully weird the TMNTs were! watchingtogetheralone.com/p/…

My latest essay! On #TheBear and the emotional power of the 30-minute dramedy:
