Fantastic, rather heart-breaking piece.

'It can be a radical position simply to repair what is broken and to preserve what is valuable from crude financialisaton or elite indifference, rather than to reimagine it wholesale.'

Thank you so much for this - I really appreciate it, so helpful! I am also struggling with those words but thanks so much for the rest!

Would be so grateful if anyone was able to help me transcribe this letter from 1849...

I think it begins 'Dearest Mama', and there's 'I could not account for it' in the middle, but I'm struggling with the rest - any thoughts massively appreciated

I have taken
the resources
that were in
the budget

and which
you were probably
saving
for higher education

Forgive me
they were needed
to feed the AI bubble
and to dismantle the humanities
