My undergrads met Kohei Saito last week at events and a student workshop and hung out with him at the DC encampment. One of them got him to sign their book, and his signature includes a stamp of him and Marx. 🤣

Great essay by Sarah. I’ve noticed many students becoming double majors with English as a pair to economics in last 5 years. They tell me part of it is the weirdness of fiction, the way we often disagree about books, and fun of battling it out in class together.

I pronounced the word “misled” as missled for decades. My partner let this happen for 12 YEARS then one day asked me “do you mean “mis-led?” Me, slowly: “No. It’s spelled the same, and it means the same thing, but it’s pronounced differently.” 😑🤪😤
