Of course the bigots and fascists don’t want you to study English.
The enemy of fascism is:
Close reading
Clear communication
Questioning the meaning of what you read
Accurate spelling & grammar
Thinking for yourself
Creativity
Understanding the mechanics of argument
Imagination
Enjoyment
Joy

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

I miss unpredictable, unashamedly high-minded arts television, the shows that gave me a cultural education on the margins of schedules.
So I wrote about them, their decline and how losing them leaves us poorer, in this week's newsletter.

Can anyone recommend fiction that wrestles with the version of AI we have in our world right now?
That is, *not* about “what does sentience mean?!?!” but more about algorithmic power, etc?
