at columbia it’s so hard to engage in my core seminars bc every third student is an econ major who doesn’t do the reading😭
It is genuinely terrifying and also insanely sad to think of how many brilliant, weird people whose talents we may be losing out on with the loss of the weird schools that catered to them - and the loss of support for a truly humanistic education among the non-ultra-rich

this reminds me of those 12 people who were responsible for thousands of book ban requests and it's a good reminder there aren't actually that many malicious actors in the world, just lots of systems unprepared for exploitation

Library stacks at the University of Michigan.
These places are enchanted spaces and I love them. It's here that you'll find the old, forbidden, forgotten, dusty books of trouble, rebellion, resistance, and knowledge. This place doesn't care about bestsellers, face-out displays, etc.
