I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Been a sec since we've run one of these threads: Hey there, we're Unwinnable! We've been publishing 100% independent pop culture criticism since 2010.

Since we mainly count on reader funding, our writers write what's on their minds -- not what's best for the algorithm or investors.

Consider the Rattle In a state that still hosts grisly β€œrattlesnake roundups,” human Texans should learn to see something of themselves in their ancient, slithering kin.

My latest! In this month's cover story for the @texasobserver.org, I wrote an expansive, oddly philosophical deep dive into the western diamonback rattlesnake, a much-maligned animal I've come to have a lot of respect and affection for

CIRCULATION ZERO archiving early punk publications β€” for good.

Though I'm sure all involved in the original magazines would be tickled or upset that people are studying them almost fifty years after.

A sepia-toned image of a woman wearing a jeweled hennin, perhaps from around the turn of the 20th century

A sepia-toned image of a woman wearing a jeweled hennin, perhaps from around the turn of the 20th century

Hey history hivemind, does anyone recognize this image? A student wants to use it in her capstone and is trying to track down both citation and context. The earliest version of it in a reverse image search is from a Harry Potter fandom tumblr post in 2013. #skystorians #medievalism #medievalsky πŸ—ƒοΈ

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

For the tabletop folks, designers and publishers, especially if you're not based in the US - do you have thoughts about attending Gen Con later in July/Aug, given the state of geopolitical affairs? Would you be attending, or would you be giving it a miss? Let me know! kheehoon@rascal.news
