The English PhD discourse is basically a Rorschach test. You see how few people understand what goes into a doctorate. You see how few people think about the humanities as a key to being human. It's really sad to see people reduce all education to its market value. I don't want

“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

“Oh my god did you see Brian’s hat?”
“Oh fuck, ha ha ha ha”
“He looks so fսcking stupid I can’t breathe.”
“What the hell even is it?”

“Holy shit! He looks so fսcking stupid.”

NC Republicans just passed an #abortionban based on gaslighting, disinformation, and willful ignorance of actual medicine.

If #NorthCarolina goes like so many other states that overreached on #abortion, I expect the GOP will come to regret it next election year.

What are the best (worst) examples of DARVO you’ve ever seen? (Personally, or in public life). I need some more really good examples for something I’m working on.
