... why did the New School president last month turn down $4mill+ from trustees & donors to fund PhDs and stop the 'pause' if this is just about money? admin has made clear, they want to reshape The New School and kill its progressive, critical thought legacy

I want this too but I would also be so worried for those 2 year olds

This is incredibly beautiful. Thanks so much for engaging with my book, and for writing this.

All very relatable. But that grappling is part of sharing everyday life with and caring for kids—which puts you ahead of many who speak for/write about/act as representatives of children. (Also hope you enjoy the book!)

The more we develop this political discourse, the more it will be necessary to hold those who speak for kids accountable to listening to kids and helping to care for them. Otherwise wtf are you doing.

I’ve found it incredibly disturbing, throughout writing my book, to encounter this problem over and over again.

Am as invested in these inclusions as I am in the exclusions of American Psycho, Requiem and Castaway

I’d even send some material to support you. But I wonder if anyone would admit it worked.

If you did a bunch of wild and provocational stuff on here, paired with some imagery, and posted that consistently between 10-2 every night for 6-8 weeks, I think around a dozen or more people would have dreams in which you at least briefly appear. I think you should start today.

There’s also this amazing film series being organized in Philly, dedicated to the films analyzed in the book, starting with my favorite, Bambule 🔥
