I have been reading and teaching Walter Benjamin's On the Concept of History for nearly twenty years and today I finally felt the revolutionary argument in the work. Against historicism, against orthodox historical materialism, toward revolutionary historical materialism—waiting.

Read Hermann Broch's The Death of Virgil with me!
Especially if you’re feeling a bit at sea, adrift between the no-longer and not-yet
A monument to a moment in time written through meditations on time as Broch imagined the final hours of Virgil’s life.

Trump cancels humanities grants to subsidize building statues to humanities scholars, including, apparently, Hannah Arendt, who wrote an entire book about how fascists—like trump—come to power in part by trying to censor what people can read, write, and think about.

Tuberculosis is coming back
People are afraid of vaccines
No more food safety regulations
They want to increase industrial factory production
All while engaging in imperial wars of expansion
People calling for revolution
Welcome to the 19th century!
Can't wait for the barricades.
