How psychoanalyst and princess Marie Bonaparte conducted her analyses:

From the beginning and throughout her career, her patients
her patients
were analyzed in rather unorthodox fashion. She sent her chauffeurs and splendid cars to bring them to Saint-Cloud for their ses-sions. Weather permitting, she conducted the hour in the garden and herself lay on a chaise longue behind the couch. Indoors or out, she crocheted while she listened. In later years, she would take along as many patients as possible when she left Paris for Saint-Tropez and Athens, thus becoming both hostess and analyst

If you've been following the crisis at WVU, where I'm an assistant prof of English, you may know that 1. I, along with many colleagues, will find out next month if we'll be laid off in May 2. WVU's lawyer said they're reading profs' social media. Hi.

Folks are sharing this on another site, so here it is. It’s a photo of a pdf; we don’t have it up on the website yet. Letter from the MLA to president of WVU, where languages are on the chopping block.

Letter from the MLA to President Gee at WVU, noting how awful it is to eliminate language study at a state flagship university, especially for working class and first-gen students.

Justice Jackson's dissent: "With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life...ultimately, ignoring race just makes it matter more."

With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority
pulls the ripcord and announces “colorblindness for all” by
legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not
make it so in life. And having so detached itself from this
country’s actual past and present experiences, the Court
has now been lured into interfering with the crucial work
that UNC and other institutions of higher learning are doing to solve America’s real-world problems.
No one benefits from ignorance. Although formal racelinked legal barriers are gone, race still matters to the lived
experiences of all Americans in innumerable ways, and today’s ruling makes things worse, not better. The best that
can be said of the majority’s perspective is that it proceeds
(ostrich-like) from the hope that preventing consideration
of race will end racism. But if that is its motivation, the
majority proceeds in vain. If the colleges of this country are
required to ignore a thing that matters, it will not just go
away. It will
