As the parent of a student suspended under Columbia’s “Palestine Exception to Free Speech” I’ll just say: uh huh.

“I shall be debased and hidebound by the bestial and beautiful passion of maternity,” says Susan in Virginia Woolf’s THE WAVES. I have always wondered if Virginia was reflecting on her sister’s life here?

Sharing my Vonnegut postcard.

Me (sophomore in college naively wanting to be a writer): "What's the secret to it all?"

Vonnegut: "Only a person of deep faith can afford the luxury of skepticism."

Happy Vonnegut day to all who celebrate.

I confess that I've been looking for an excuse to use this T.J. Clark line for ages, and am far more pleased than I should be finally to have done so

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

It’s alarming how often this needs to be emphasized, particularly to those who believe in epistemological frou-frou like Smith’s “invisible hand”

Rationality and intelligence are not the same thing.

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

I can’t help sharing M John Harrison’s “steerage way,” a cross between a rant, a memoir, a craft talk, and a writing prompt. Just in case you need a PDF tonight 🖤
