Sometimes it feels like the main sin of the humanities in this moment is to think humanity is fascinating and worthy of study.

Now that the BBC has picked up this story, it has gone "viral" and gone beyond the bubble of experts on German politics and society. www.bbc.com/news/article... I thought I would add some more context that isn't in the article. #Stoplersteine #Germany #HolocaustMemory

Name a film with a Woman Director
VHS box cover of the 1931 German film "Mädchen in Uniform" directed by Leontine Sagan. Two young women are pictured in the black & white photo. The first is seated, wearing tights and a medieval-looking shirt and hat with a feather, holding a piece of paper, and looking off into the distance. The second is kneeling, with her hands on the other's legs, wearing a blouse with stripes and a white collar, and looking up to the other's face.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

It is true that some of the people who email me need a specific cut & dried answer. ("We don't support that" "We'll take care of it, it'll be done by Friday" "Sure, here's the document you're looking for") But a lot of them need to be schmoozed with varying degrees of tact, diplomacy, humor, etc.

To whom it may concern, Having considered the sorts of behaviors (and sorts of beliefs) that constitute “being normal” in our present society, I have concluded that it’s not a bad thing to be deemed abnormal.

I don’t know what to say about the Cornell 7 which others more learned and eloquent haven’t already. The only thing I will add is: fraternity culture as it exists on American university campuses is likely irredeemable. The concept of brotherhood as a sacred bond has been exploited by the very worst.

According a making-of feature I saw, the first cut didn't have a number for Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly together. And the test audience basically said "WTF you can NOT put those two in a movie together and then not have them sing with each other."
