My favorite people are those who ask, “What do you like about it?” when you say you love a work of art. This question itself is love. It’s setting aside ego. Love is wanting to know why someone loves what they love, & beholding their appreciation. These people are extremely rare.

When I sometimes talk about the academic 'caste' system and the sharp line separating tenure-track and non-tenure track, this is what I mean.

The TT faculty of a department met and reportedly decided, in secret, to fire all 23 of their NTT colleagues.
