(Grateful to @saronikbosu.bsky.social & @hightheorypodcast.bsky.social for this chance. I promise the core point of the book is that history can be changed: no disastrous process, however apparently total, is ever set in stone.)

One of my favorite American experiences was that we went to the Big E and went to a store to have soft serve. The owner asked would you like to meet Misty, the cow whose milk made that soft serve?
We said yes and went around to the back of the tent and there was Misty chewing hay in all her glory.

One month into the new semester, based on sample size of 91, I'll tell you what works (even if for the duration of a single class session) in the face of fatigue and enshittification all around -
looking at art with your students, that basic-ass humanist activity still delivers
