It’s insane. Like how? Wasn’t the moral panics of the past about high teenage pregnancy?

their closure also means a massive economic hit to the counties that hosted them. if you thought deindustrialization and deskilling were already devastating enough, well,

This is great. Something I can see myself sharing with students.

Wanted to share the concluding paragraphs of Hampshire President Jenn Chrisler's closure announcement. "We remain unwavering in our belief that the experience a Hampshire College education provides is exactly what the world needs."

Settle down beautiful flowering trees, my allergies can’t take it.

Can the news get anymore dispiriting?

(This is a rhetorical question, and not a dare to the universe, fyi.)

I’ll take a look at this. Thanks!

I can imagine how fast everything is changing!

Also useful would be a literature review of relevant scholarship that could catch people up quickly on what they should know and where to look for something more in depth. (Maybe this already exists?)

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say thatvthis structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was nothing more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that that hearts, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Wowowow

Thanks for the shout out. It was an extraordinary symposium!

Even my sense of deep deep irony is of little help at this moment.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵
