I’m no lawyer but I find it interesting that Christian conversion therapy practitioners have the right to tell kids they aren’t trans but those kids’ teachers apparently don’t have the right to say they are trans and people on the internet may not have the right to affirm them being trans either

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

This is why you study Latin. This is why you read Cicero. Learning to break down and analyze sentences like this reveals the subtle biases in writing. Words are tools and they are being used as weapons, and yes even by the "paper of record."

When people question the value of Humanities education, this is my answer. We need citizens who know what rhetoric is and notice when and how it is being used.

This was a needed exhibit, in place for over 15 years. Removed this past month. It included Oney Judge's story, a woman enslaved (& stalked after escape) by President George Washington. (Image = exhibit art panel; photo taken by William Fischer, Jr., 2017)
