I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

my students care so much about men’s hockey & football yet have shown zero enthusiasm when i try to talk to them about WNBA or any women’s sports. close the schools & make them go watch the W playoffs!!

I am convinced that the way out of this isn't to make the humanities easier, endlessly flexible to meet the demands of people who might otherwise blow them off---it's to make them harder and more disciplined in effort

Hard not to conclude that Wojnarowicz saw what was coming for us, since his work consistently highlighted the kinds of destructive forces evident in almost all corners of American society today: "Democracy at Work," 1990

A graphic image showing the Grim Reaper clothed in dollar bills, with one edge labeled "'Democracy' at Work," and various figures being injured by the reaper's scythe, with spatters of blood labeled "unemployment," "killer cops," "homophobia," etc. The sun above is emblazoned with a swastika built of dollars

Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

'Quaker Oats.' (1917) The Italian artist Gino Severini was a leading figure of the Futurist movement in the years leading up to WW1; his first exhibition in London in 1913 was a huge success, provoking critical acclaim and bewilderment in the popular press.

living in an apartment complex (&soon to be priced out due to rent increases) in a neighborhood of nice single-family homes breeds a strong sense of class resentment that feels icky to feel about one’s neighbors, but is a real genuine feeling seeing people have lives you could never afford

Driving a car is incredibly dangerous, it should be one of the most regulated experiences on earth, and it is very upsetting to watch people who correctly don’t trust the cops turn against automated enforcement because the alternative is relying on a cop’s judgement to enforce the laws.
