I feel the need to prepare for the coming authoritarianism, but I'm not sure how to prepare.
I know I will no longer be teaching essays or speeches written/spoken by straight white men, however. Their work just doesn't have the merit.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Well done for making it to the end of January.
Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself.
If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

In the past 30 hours Americans, upset of about the seemingly inevitable TikTok ban, have download Xiaohongshu (Red Note) a Chinese social media platform based in China.
It is currently the #1 Free App in the Apple AppStore.

When a disaster or crisis hits a community, the public library often serves as a safe haven. Libraries provide a place of comfort, direction, normalcy, and resources to help guide recovery efforts for the people they serve.

Last night I dreamed that Virgina Woolf's MRS DALLOWAY was written aa a guide for witches and its working title was something like "Coordinating Spellcraft." I suppose it's time to reread Ms. Woolf. 🧙♀️🧹📖

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

This text was hugely influential and is regarded as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.
