In Issue 119, Milo Farragher-Hanks examines All of Us Strangers and La Bête as postmodern (and postpandemic) resuscitations of the ‘urban ghost story’ that enable us “to perceive cultural tensions around memory and temporality in the present moment.” buff.ly/KdT6d7f

I love the assumption that schools (versus school districts, or even state boards of education) have the wherewithal to NOT use Google Classroom in this postpandemic era. Even the national volunteer org in which I teach adult learners advocates for its use at the local level. Because it’s free.

prepandemic i had three different staff jobs. postpandemic i can't even get an interview when i know/have worked with a place
when i was laid off i (a trans guy in his mid-40s who has a BA and a long career of work in media, labor, contract admin/paralegal, and health care admin work, plus retail experience) applied to hundreds and hundreds of jobs and got two interviews, neither of which made it past the first round
I hate it here

Heartbreaking thread. My recent history at 123 included first postpandemic film, the last Bond film, and last two Christopher Nolan’s, both in 70MM. Despite popularity of the latter, only ever had to stand on line Tuesday mornings when tickets were $7 or $8 and lots of older moviegoers came out.
A piece of NYC movie history dies tomorrow; it's the last day of operations for Cinema 1, 2, and 3 on 3rd Avenue. From the 1960s into the 1980s, Cinema 1 and 2 were the most sought-after bookings in Manhattan. That street, which also housed the Baronet and Coronet, was known as The Block. >
