My favorite people are those who ask, β€œWhat do you like about it?” when you say you love a work of art. This question itself is love. It’s setting aside ego. Love is wanting to know why someone loves what they love, & beholding their appreciation. These people are extremely rare.

Poverty itself is a major risk factor for poor mental health... community development-related issues such as unstable housing and unemployment are connected in a complex negative cycle with poor mental health. | #MIAW #CureStigma #MentalHealth

A word for periods of time where your structures of meaning feel… not collapsed but sort of loosened/disoriented. Like you are existentially drunk.

pure bait but I'm curious what's a piece of art [interpret at will] that has retained an essential mystery no matter how many times you've revisited it?

When I sometimes talk about the academic 'caste' system and the sharp line separating tenure-track and non-tenure track, this is what I mean. The TT faculty of a department met and reportedly decided, in secret, to fire all 23 of their NTT colleagues. medium.com/@tom.kealey/overv…

The most difficult thing about teaching writing, I think, is the utter inability to convey to students that as you get better at it, it gets harder, not easier--that composition *slows*, instead of speeding up. Close to the exact opposite of acquiring athletic or physical prowess
