When I went to college a hundred years ago (2000-4), my school was actively recruiting humanities majors, w scholarships etc. Institutions incentivize areas of study in order to grow them. And they underfund them intentionally to strangle them. It’s not a random natural phenomenon.
one of the great, pernicious myths perpetrated about higher ed—which media, higher ed administrators, politicians, and a number of faculty are complicit in spreading—is that humanities departments close due to some combination of cratering student demand and unjustifiable cost. It’s not true
My humanities dept was relevant. Majors were up. Courses were 100% enrolled. Revenue positive, GE serving, etc etc. We were still eliminated.
The problem is ideological administrative destruction. Couldn’t write a report, a self study, or a spreadsheet against that.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

Q is extremely committed to the bit, I respect it
Q is an immortal, omnipresent being, essentially a god, and he uses his unlimited and awe-inspiring power to just fuck with Picard, as a bit.
Not a criticism but it's amazing to think about how many Star Trek stories have, at their core, the idea that some alien/entity/lone survivor is simply bored or lonely & wants someone from Starfleet/the Federation to play with them.
Right now not enough shows are about aliens with relatable ennui!

Really loved this article on close reading. The art of noticing, and of crafting an argument, is how we begin to inoculate ourselves from so many societal and intellectual ills, especially in a world where disinformation, toxic algorithms, and slop vie for our limited time and attention.
I wrote an essay for @bostonreview.bsky.social about what I learned about close reading when I taught at West Virginia University

Literary studies have been starved by austerity, but their core methodology remains radical.
