Robin, let’s talk
Black Sounds concert in Columbus. Featuring Talib Kweli, the Deal Breakers, and Starlit Ways, all repping central Ohio in its beautiful variety. Concert organized by grad students in Music and Comp Studies.
Totally fair assessment.
That you, Cathy.
I promise to live what’s left of my life the way that George plays his solo on I Should Have Known Better.
Great song.
Elon Musk suddenly going into overdrive to blame DEI, Obama, Biden...

Astra Taylor on how we might come together as things fall apart! Read every word - no pull quotes do the job, but: “We work hard, shop hard, hustle, get credentialed, scrimp and save, invest, diet, self-medicate, meditate, exercise, exfoliate.” None of it provides “the security we crave.”
Love this piece.

Amazing control of tone as she states what should be obvious with total clarity.
I feel sheepish to plug an upcoming project with all the woes of the world swirling around us but…deep breath…a band I am in tours 🇪🇺central Europe in October and I hope some of you folks will come check us out. 🎸🥁
Half-baked thought: maybe now all humanities professional orgs should have watchdog/activist committees to keep an eye on major assaults by legislatures, boards of trustees, etc.? a necessary shift, culturally? both for ready activism & for easy rallying nodes for orgs to communicate & band together
Hi buddy. Welcome. Glad you’re here!
jd vance is having a terrible night and i think that’s nice
Thanks to the people of Akron, Toledo, Dayton, Athens, and the 3Cs!
The cities of Ohio have pushed back against the Republican effort to cheat us of majority rule. Happy for all of us.
We voted. Hell, no!
Love that show.
Very frightening.
Believe me, growing up in the Midwest helped.

in all the remembrances about sinead’s passionate and righteous life, let us not forget how powerfully tender her music was. few people can sing about intimacy, longing, desire, and grief in a way that cuts to the quick every time and never feels hackneyed
