Loved this. Thanks for writing. How many poems do you assign per class meeting?

Thanks! It’s a big project—hopefully something for everyone!

At least during the French Revolution the closed down Catholic Church run universities on purpose for reasons. Here it’s like, why are they doing this? Are they just letting it happen because they know they can’t stop it, or is there and ideological reason they’re just not saying out loud?

This one’s the winner I think. Also woukd have accepted:

Silly rabbit, tripping is for teenagers
Murder is for murderers and hard drugs are for bartenders

OR

He said I got to the part about the exodus
And up to then I only knew it was a movement of the people

I recall one of the early excerpts from Annette Gordon-Reed‘s The Hemmingses of Monticello explaining that TJ‘s contemporaries would definitely have viewed the relationship with Sally as incest, since she was a half-sister of his deceased wife.

Man I needed this today

Fell for this after it wasnt debunked for the first few days and changed all the settings on like 4 different work/personal accounts and now I’m too lazy to switch back.
