Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home”

Simple joys of a gray day in Manhattan:
A subway cry
Exiting the subway outside of Carnegie Hall and making mental note of shows I want to see
Getting breakfast from the kind guy at the cart
Getting directions from a man sweeping water, wearing an NCAA D-2 XC Championships sweatshirt

There will be many casualties from UChicago ending ('pausing') PhD admissions in Humantities, but one which I am keenly aware of: this is close to a death sentence for teaching cuneiform in the United States (esp. Sumerian, Hittite, Elamite, Eblaite, Luwian) and it will affect the whole world.
“Chicago has long helped to keep alive tiny fields & esoteric areas of humanistic study... Without the univ’s support, & the continued training of grad students who can keep these bodies of kn going, entire spheres of human learning might eventually blink out.” www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
If the University of Chicago Won’t Defend the Humanities, Who Will?
Why it matters that the University of Chicago is pausing admissions to doctoral programs in literature, philosophy, the arts, and languages

It is horrifying, but the Minneapolis Star Tribune has an excellent live feed going on the school shooting for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date.
Be warned, there are some truly awful details in there.

Trauma upon trauma. It's all bad, but for those who have already gone thru an event like this somewhere/sometime, it's even worse. We never know who is being impacted and how. Just me reminding everyone to be extra gentle with every single person you encounter.

What with this, the attack against female Democratic politicians in the Minneapolis western 'burbs (I've been in one of the houses on the hit list) and George Floyd, I just can't make sense of my folksy, Scandinavian-idealistic prairie hometown anymore.
