Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

“imagine [creating a bunch of jobs overnight] for work that matters”
Some very powerful people want us to believe human labor is obsolete & way too many people are buying it.
Don’t let them make you think that you are disposable.
Time to revive the idea of a job guarantee. They just created a bunch of fascist ICE jobs overnight. Imagine that for work that matters.

“Art is to me, now, probably one of the last good things we’ve got left as human beings."
I've been feeling this more and more. How the war for our attention robs us of tangible art. Robs us of the feeling of being alive.

‘Regrets? Number one: smoking. Number two: taking it up the wrong hole’: Tracey Emin on reputation, radical honesty – and Reform
She scandalised the art world in the 1990s with her unmade bed, partied hard in the 2000s – then a brush with death turned the artist’s life upside down. Now she’s as frank as ever

Valentine's Day is the day I remember that novelist Mary Shelley kept her dead poet husband's heart in a drawer wrapped in silk with a page from one of his poems. ❤️

my Boomer parents were unambiguously right, here: they raised me to believe that culture and art were every bit my birthright, regardless of how much money we had. anyone who wants to tear down public access to the humanities is stealing our most precious heritage, and that theft demands *redress.*
This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.
