HI NAOMI!!! Not sure if you remember me from the bay area, but we hung out at a YA litfest together. So glad to have found you and your newsletter - and also, I was once harassed online by a Hindutva troll named Stalin, so I totally wish I had read post then so I could've written him an ode!
I have unfortunately met no shortage of professors who are pretty vocal about supporting speech codes, litmus tests for employment, etc. but maybe it's better in some instances that people be explicit about their beliefs than quietly hypocritical before going along to get along. But, yes, the main anti-humanist contingent on campus comes from the bloated administrative apparatus, not faculty.
Great piece! I love that you started it by saying you’re not much of a re-reader, then listed like 10 long books you’ve re-read. 😄
LOL that’s exactly what I thought! That’s an intimidating list of “no big deal” rereads!
They were big re-reads! Just few in number =]

I value your writing and perspective. Thanks for publishing, even when you judge it as “anemic.”
Randroid? Who'd thought?
