If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

11 février 1957, avec l'aval de Mitterrand, l'ouvrier communiste algérien Fernand Iveton est guillotiné à Alger, pour l'exemple, alors qu'il n'a commis aucun crime de sang. Saluons sa mémoire. 39 autres militants algériens le suivront en 1957. (voir ici : 1000autres.org/les-guilloti....

Feb 7 – Loïs Mailou Jones (1905–1998) A painter and designer whose art spanned the Harlem Renaissance to Afrofuturism. Jones’ fusion of African motifs with Western modernism proved that Blackness belonged in fine art. She’s an ICON!!#BlackArtHistory

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country. So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art?

writing is hard because you flip back and forth between "I am a literal fraud and this book will never be completed" and "I am a literary sex goddess and this book will earn me the affections of seven comely lasses" or maybe that's just me idk

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

Hey, check your local libraries for free access to news sources that you might otherwise have to pay for. Many libraries offer online access and you can even copy article links and share them. 👍

Hey, elites, politicians, and those in power! Dystopian novels are 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, not 𝗵𝗼𝘄-𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 for building the perfect state! You’re not supposed to read "1984" or "The Handmaid's Tale" and think, “𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦.” 🙃

Me: idk, I feel like the Samuel L. Jackson bits were maybe too heavyhanded, we don’t need the subtext spelled out for us, the audience is smarter than that Me after reading several insane takes about the halftime show: I think maybe the Samuel L. Jackson bits were not heavyhanded enough

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.
