I read Ursula Le Guin’s The Word for World Is Forest when I was 12. The story of how a righteous struggle can spill over into atrocities blew my tiny mind. An almost throwaway line about what the alien rebels did to the women working for the human oppressors turned me into a feminist on the spot.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

So this reminds me of one of my favourite WTF moments in heritage bureaucracy, which was the 2018 archaeological excavations just outside the chapel of St Peter at the Tower of London. nobody could decide who, apart from the king, could legally sign off on the project

There's a woman on TikTok doing a social experiment. She's calling churches and telling them I'm a single mother in poverty, I ran out of formula and my baby hasn't eaten in 24 hrs, can you purchase me a container of formula (about $32 on the cheap end.)

His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.
