I’ve been all over the country in the last month. And I get asked the same question, over and over again: “I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?” Here is my answer:

Have tried contacting Sotheby's that has an image of the painting I want to use. If that doesn't suffice, do I contact the copyright and permissions dept of French government or something (hopefully English works?)?

Does anyone know how to go about trying to obtain rights for a work of art if you can't find contact info for an artist's estate? (I want to obtain rights for something from 1957 by Marcel Dyf for academic book cover)

Procrastination is ideological in that in implies waiting to be saved by some yet-to-surface creative force the same way these political theatrics imply that. I'm learning to exit the limbo early without losing any of the rumination and dream time we do there.

The humanities do not help us *become* more humane, but to understand what it would mean to *be* humane. The becoming is not up to the humanities but to us.
I deeply admire you, but I strongly disagree with this sales pitch. The value of the humanities--when done well--is that it helps us become wiser and more humane. If it doesn't do this, if it only imparts a neutral toolkit of skills, then to hell with it.

So the inevitable’s happened: the war machine’s taken 6 (beautiful, beloved) white/Western lives, and they’re mourned as 32,000 (beautiful, beloved) Palestinian lives were not. If you have any power at all - media role, a platform - and you’ve been silent till now, ask yrself why
