A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Nadine Naber and asking her a few questions about her Humanities Without Walls research project. It was so encouraging to hear about her work—I wish I could have shared our whole conversation, but these are the highlights!

So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...
Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees
Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

My Tony opinions are based only on the short clips that have made it to insta/tik tok but I’m so thrilled to see big wins for Maybe Happy Ending (and maybe one day I’ll see it person)

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

wonderful thread.
i’m taking on a new personal project this month. i’ve just collected a large collection of 35mm film negatives of black american life in the 1970s and 1980s and am going to begin digitizing them into an archive of their own.
i’ll write about my progress here.

OUR MISSING HEARTS is not a dystopia, example #976. (When I wrote it, I worried that making up a law called "Protecting American Culture and Traditions" would be unbelievable. I don't worry that anymore.)
Truly chilling and totalitarian.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I’ve spent most of my life steeped in anxiety, and one thing that made me feel less alone was knowing how unsurprisingly not new anxiety and related experiences are.
It’s in fragments, but this is one of many clay texts from ancient Mesopotamia that describes anxiety (possibly depression)

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Maybe it’s because I grew up in the south but I think everything should be cancelled when it snows (mostly because I become incapable of doing anything but sitting by a window and watching it fall) (also because I can’t drive in it)

I was on a run and some man stopped me to say he liked my Elon University shirt and at first he was so excited to learn it’s a real place—until he found out it’s a small liberal arts school and not a “university celebrating Elon Musk” like he was hoping
