Don't tell me that the billionaires running the country don't have my interests at heart. You don't know my interests. What if my interests are to eat shit and die

woke up to 80+ comments on my TT telling me my Humanities speaker position was a waste of fed $$ and the material should be taught in schools and libraries.

YALL WONT EVEN FUND THOSE.

There are no rules in this no man’s land between Christmas & New Years.

Read all night! Don’t finish a book! Read three books at once!

part4: birth control devp’d late 1800s. rich primarily have access. margaret sanger jailed 8+ times to get BC access to poor women. christians are inflamed. claim birth is a divine gift of women and BC and medical community is heretical & sinful. Feds simult’y send families West to settle, sans BC.

part3: USA christian southern churches use Old Testament to preach and justify slavery, northerners use secular and liberal christianity to argue abolition. civil war ensues, lots of rhetoric about elitist educated northerners.

part2: 1850s: darwin tells catholic wife and SIL of his evolution theory. they cry and argue that his theory is anti-genesis and anti-christian. he sees this as an indicator of mass response. sits on theory until 1859 after deciding it was too important to bury. mass hysteria.

looking at anti-intellectualism and religion (in multiple parts):
- 1543, copernicus theory of earth revolving around sun threatens church’s emphasis that church was center of earth and earth was center of universe. clergy and churchgoers call copernicus a heretic, academia vs religion begins.

just left a writers workshop. shame that AI-written books will be so prolific. it’ll make human-written books as marketable as organic food marketing.

but still i write.

My lecture on #immigration at a library was postponed due to safety following the #election. I uploaded it to Youtube and my website. Everything is under this handle. Truth will not be silenced out of fear. Howdy, Bluesky!
