I don't try to be an I-went-to-Harvard person, but I need to mention how pissed so many of us were at this guy back in 2005. He's wrong to think women are less intelligent, and he just keeps being wrong whenever I encounter him in the news. He never should have been in charge of a university. 😡

I don't think you'll regret watching this video: youtu.be/Ultt6QhKU0w?...

This is some fascinating book history! childrenslitpilgrim.substack.com/p/teacher-mo... 📚 📜 the illustrations and the words seemed to vary across editions, so the author "did what any reasonable person would do: I requested every edition I could find through interlibrary loan to see for myself" 💕

He didn't make the tree into the Crucifix (cool but precedented). He made it into Jesus. Or maybe into the Paschal candle, but either way I've clearly got to read more things by David Jones... 📚 #poetry 🌲 🌳

THIS [right-hand painting] IS YOUR BRAIN ON CATHOLICISM

The difference a decade can make! Both of these paintings are by the same artist (David Jones, 1895-1974). On is from 1920 and the other is from 1931.

I know these signs are always about Jesus but they read like interjections from the trees they're posted on.

In his Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech, Jack White shouted out over 30 acts that inspired the White Stripes – none of whom have been inducted www.stereogum.com/2329132/whit...

I'm not actually an expert on any of these characters or the period, but I wonder if we would all talk a lot more about David Jones if he had a more distinctive name? It took me a while to realize he was all one person en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_J...
