this is just getting silly now

look what i just got through child_lit. this does not help the existential crisis.
wanna go to chicago for christmas? it's near the lakes. we could duck over to
toronto or something. . .

not that they'd probably take me. but anyway.

yea gods.




MLA 2007
CFP: Children and Political Activism

Inspired by the work of Susan Bartoletti's Kids on Strike and Growing
up in Coal Country , this panel seeks submissions examining children's texts
(fictional, non-fictional, photographic, etc.) depicting children
taking political action and/or texts that are designed to inspire child
readers to take up direct political action.

These texts--marketed to children--might include representations of
radical children demanding their rights or fighting for particular causes.

Abstract Deadline: 1 March 2007
Send 1-2 page abstracts or 8-page papers to:

What existensial crisis? I thought you were having a crisis over the lack of Judy Horacek cartoons on the web, not about any wider matters. What's up?
