something that strikes me about the recent spate of academic media (the chair, the guadagnino, vladimir, rooster, lucky hank) is that none of them seem to have any idea as to why anyone would want to teach, or even learn, in these institutions

Open Letter on The New School’s “Restructuring” Plans - Notes - e-flux
Signed by hundreds of faculty, students, and supporters, this letter refutes the claim that a radical “restructuring” of the The New School for Social Research is financially necessary.

sipping on the last little bit of my sleepytime tea, i wondered "why does this taste so good, if not a little cold?" then realized i left the sleepytime tea over on the counter, and instead just finished the cold coffee i had leftover from the morning -- it is 1030 and i am Awake

every time a store closes near our house, it inevitably becomes a barber shop. we literally have four within one block of our house. we joke about this all the time. today i went out back and overnight crudely assembled signs have popped up in the alley advertising yet another one.
