1. Here’s a kind of funny thing: google “begin optional trim.” It’s kind of comforting to know that, no matter how embarrassing your mistake, a couple of thousand people out there have made it too.
2. Confused RT is confused I clearly misunderstand the expected etiquette of subscribing/granting access. I first approached the issue this way: if you subscribe to me, then I thought the standard countermove was to grant you access. But the notifications seem to assume precisely the opposite: you subscribe to me, so I might want to subscribe to you—and not grant you access, which is a separate step. I want to follow reciprocal norms, but I’m deeply confused about what they might be, so I’ve been reacting almost randomly. Another thing to figure out in May.
3. Another quote for the SPN essay I’m not writing:
Judith Butler, Antigone’s Claim 71 (2000): “Consider that the horror of incest, the moral revulsion it compels in some, is not that far afield from the same horror and revulsion felt toward lesbian and gay sex, and is not unrelated to the intense moral condemnation of voluntary single parenting, or gay parenting, or parenting arrangements with more than two adults involved (practices that can be used as evidence to support a claim to remove a child from the custody of the parent in several states in the United States). These various modes in which the oedipal mandate fails to produce normative family all risk entering into the metonymy of that moralized sexual horror that is perhaps most fundamentally associated with incest.” (And hey, whoa, an intelligible Butler quote!)
4. Property Stories, eds. Gerald Korngold & Andrew P. Morriss: Really strong entrant in the “Stories” series, which collects essays about major cases in specific fields. From detailed factual histories of the cases, often contradicting or enriching the official accounts, most of the pieces draw broader conclusions about right and wrong in property law. I’m now torn between using this and Perspectives on Property Law as a casebook supplement. Sadly, it seems as if only Carol Rose’s piece on Shelly v. Kraemer and Vicki Been’s on Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Commission, both excellent, are online.
