Astra Taylor on how we might come together as things fall apart! Read every word - no pull quotes do the job, but: “We work hard, shop hard, hustle, get credentialed, scrimp and save, invest, diet, self-medicate, meditate, exercise, exfoliate.” None of it provides “the security we crave.”

Half-baked thought: maybe now all humanities professional orgs should have watchdog/activist committees to keep an eye on major assaults by legislatures, boards of trustees, etc.? a necessary shift, culturally? both for ready activism & for easy rallying nodes for orgs to communicate & band together
