Can't find any enjoyment in Making Fun of Charlotte Gill and her antics; even - or perhaps especially - as someone who's been forced out of academia, the barrage of attacks on the humanities from all sides is making me desperately sad.
What a grim little world we're making, before we all fall into the sea.
@philistella Also refuse to engage with a blue tick who will benefit from all the views and RTs...
@philistella I’m so sorry if I contributed. My having been shoved out of academia has hardened into a sort of quiet bitter hysteria, but it’s terrifying. We’ll have no arts left. Ugh. Ugh. Love to you xxxx
@philistella yes... I've been trying to laugh (if only bitterly), but desperately sad is pretty much it for me, apparently.
@philistella Mad experiment to test Polyani's theory that if you put the market at the center of your society the society will collapse. Seems to be playing out as Polyani assumed. Being right is no consolation to those who love and appreciate the arts and humanities (and humanity) though.
@philistella Puffins are everywhere at the moment!
