Two early-2010s films. Two “good girls” performing social stigma without enduring its material consequences. Easy A and The Pregnancy Project are stories about visibility, performative marginalization, and the commodification of female suffering in modern media culture.

🅰️ 📖 🖋️ **The Market Place, from Nathaniel Hawthorne's “The Scarlet Letter”**

“This image responds to chapter 2, where Hester leaves prison to endure public humiliation on the town scaffold. The text describes women resentful of Hester's beauty, who find her punishment too lenient–figures shown here below the steps.”

Felix Octavius Carr Darley | The Market Place, from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 'The Scarlet Letter' | The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1879). https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/406020.

Is it just me or is it getting worse how people react to others wearing a mask by treating them as if they were the sick one?

This morning i had two experiences with people making visible efforts to avoid walking too close to or behind me. One woman changed the side of the road. A dude sprinted ahead in order to reach a stair in front of me. The worst part is, i am wearing it to protect myself and with behavior like that it's him who endangers me.

After a terrific discussion in class today, a student of mine said "I love this book." Which book, you might ask? #TheScarletLetter. Day made.

Chillingworth invents the chill pill, takes it, and leaves Hester and Dimmesdale alone.

I wrote the introduction to this #Oxford edition of #TheScarletLetter. One of my toughest assignments, but got permission to use this gorgeous "A" from the #Huntington Library!
