Could you elaborate on jughead and his bad Moby Dick takes?

he's basically representing the most boring and smug "what you see is what you get, authorial intent is the only way to interpret a story, and also the author is ALWAYS upfront about their intent with the public" angle on literary analysis when he argues that it's pointless to try to read subtext into the book. famously a crummy way to read moby dick and a crummy way to read riverdale and all the context around it as an archie comics adaptation. no metaphorical readings allowed unless the original creator says it's OK??! OK!!

it's a viewpoint he explicitly grows out of in season seven. the jughead of the more character-optimistic s7 reboot becomes very invested in metaphor and subtext and the idea that someone could write about a milkman murderer but make him something else to skirt censorship and then deny the connection publicly. (and also veronica critiques the unintentional incel undertones of his writing and he needed that ❤️)

This was the introduction of the term “Prayer Captain” here in 1943′s Little Moby’s Post:

For the past two years Dr. Jones has given the school a word as the slogan or watchword for the year. The words thus far have been "steady" and ready." The word chosen for this year is "Pray." and there has been a greater emphasis laid on prayer than any other year. The entire student body is organized under "Prayer Captains," so that every student meets for prayer at least once during the day. We know that this new word means high ground and much opposition, but we know that great victories lie ahead this year. Won't you adopt that word with us?

A wonderful song by Aynzli Jones and Moby under the label Always centered at night.

I personally love how the song is composed.

any nonfic book recs by lesbian authors? want to get into more feminist readings. whatever ya got :)

Hi! we don’t actively track down every author’s sexuality when we purchase their books so I don’t want to 100% guarantee when it’s possible some of these folks may be bi or some other flavor of queer, but I do imagine a lot of our non-fiction that’s about lesbians is also by lesbians, here are a few;

The Lesbian South by Jamie Harker

No Modernism Without Lesbians by Diana Souhami

Boots of Leather Slippers of Gold by Elizabeth Lapovsky Kennedy & Madeline D. Davis

The Voice of the Alumni used to be called Little Moby’s Post back in the day. This was posted in 1945:

Just to whet dull memories, let us remind you of the recent actions taken in regard to Alumni dues. If you are an Alumnus or Alumna of Bob Jones College your annual dues are $2.50. If you have married a graduate, that is you are both Alumni, your annual dues are $4.00 for both of you. The $1.00 saving is to reward you for a successful search while at the college. All students who have not graduated but would like to receive the college news may secure the paper for $1.00 per year. Please investigate your financial standing. Address your inquiries and payments to Ted Mercer, our treasurer.
