I for one am tired of Humanities academics pushing their elitist agenda of basic literacy, independent thinking and an elementary knowledge of human history

Remember the episode in the Handmaid's Tale, where a brain dead, black handmaid is kept on life support long enough to give birth?
This is happening in Atlanta, GA right now. Her name is Adriana Smith. She was only 9wks when the state kidnapped her body from her family.

I can't call myself an American and not put my body on the line.
For me, our government-funded destruction and slaughter of families living in Gaza is an attack on justice, common decency, and what I had thought was the American way. The American way that Superman used to defend, along with Truth and Justice.

"Why don't you read the books you already own before buying new books" why don't you eat all the food in the house before going shopping? That's what you sound like. That's how crazy you sound right now

No one wants to hear this but you will find more wisdom in an old fairy-tale, a monologue from Shakespeare, a chapter of Jane Austen, than in all the self-help books in Barnes & Noble. You don't need more lifemaxxing, you need myth, poetry, beauty.

for people addicted to self-help books, I prescribe that you read one poem every day and recite it until you have it memorized. you people need an infusion of beauty, not more neurosis

55 years ago today, 4 students at Kent State University were killed for protesting the Vietnam war.

We must stand against war, militarism, and government attacks on protest.

ALT Our lives are spinning out from world to world; the shapes of things are shifting in the wind. What do we know beyond the rapture and the dread?

“Humanities degrees are useless” is propaganda that’s had the effect of convincing a whole generation that reading and critical thinking skills were unimportant. Now we’re reaping the results with mass illiteracy and a public eager to embrace conspiracy theories and fascism.

No, I don't want the life of hustling and corporate ladders. This is what I want: a mushroom cottage with a strawberry covered porch.
