if only those who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs knew that one day one might go to Margaritaville before Wuthering Heights

Juan needs medical care, safe housing, access to nutrition and a nurturing environment. Detention and deportation without due process is cruel and wrong.

Me: I read Wuthering Heights last month so I'd be ready for the movie but now I don't really want to see the movie because it doesn't look at all like the book.
My psychiatrist: I meant any problems with your medication

I haven’t read that Solnit intro, I’m very curious!
I like teaching it with 1984 & Never Let Me Go just sayin’. The apocalypse but make it v Brit lit
The Broadview is good and also the Norton Critical! & I can’t wait to check out @eileenmhunt.bsky.social’s new edition!!
THANK YOU for posting - I fell behind and need to catch up!
Ok—I have been doing my #LastMan200, and I’m up to chapter 5! I have the edition with the Solnit intro, and reading up to this point, I’m a little confused by her disappointment with the female characters. They seem kind of fine to me! Certainly less out of place/time than riding a horse, haha

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text

11.02.2026 17:46 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialism—the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisis—despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

In case you missed the moment.
Art is powerful
That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."
