I do a podcast about Jane Austen with my friend Maggie! We talk about our love for Jane and give a middle finger to all the haters (that was our mission statement back in 2015 and we're sticking to it).

I finally listened to the podcast about the 2005 P&P and LOVED IT. Definitely captured how I feel right now-- that I have to escape into the world of Austen just to maintain my sanity!! I also really loved the book recommendations at the end @barelytolerable.bsky.social @firstimpresspod.bsky.social

People don't explore art because they've been taught to dominate it vis-a-vis their relationship to it. They buy it or own it or beat it via critique or click like. It's all impositional. It's all imperial. Just a billion little empires.

Half-baked but: I keep thinking about shame, and how in the past people in government might have had a sort of built in firewall against doing the most egregious shit we’re seeing. But now the info environments are so separate that they get *positive* reinforcement for just absurd action.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.
