when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

Sometimes you just go out onto the internet to have a good time, whereupon suddenly you are attacked
Buying books and reading books are 2 separate hobbies

I'm working on a project governed by two ideas. The first is hero worship, or the fetishization of who we think will save us, be it an individual like a billionaire or politician, a class of people like scientists or soldiers, or even an idea such as innovation or egalitarianism.

I saw this and thought, "do not besmirch Virgil and Ovid this way" before looking in the comments to realize a different meaning for Muse was being used
I know this may sound harsh, but if you truly believe in the concept of the “literary muse” you are dumber than a bag of hammers
