i don't know why people think academic humanities are somehow exempted from the kinds of industry & military funding interests that guide research output in stem fields. ok i do know why but you are just wrong if you think that. do you know how many postdoc and tt apps i've sifted thru in the last month alone that are tied to collections funded off oil money, chemical company endowment funds, etc. do you know what happens if you try to write even historical analysis of these companies that is not flattering to them lol. archives can and do refuse access if someone doesn't like what you argue, funding is handed down from pritzkers and duponts and so forth. enviro humanities people all know what line to toe, it is a responsibility of faculty to inform their grad advisees of how far they can go without attracting censorious attention. do you know how many positions have posted this year at israeli universities. this is before you even get into the frankly insane number of archival and curatorial positions that essentially boil down to writing puff pieces about the usa's 'founding fathers' from the collections at their stupid vanity libraries please be so serious

there's this fucking tik tok that i keep seeing and it's one of those "meet the friend group" shitty thirst traps and it's 6 dudes right and you got the punk boy (okay fine whatever ) and the elegant boy (what would we do without him) and then there's the fucking ventriloquist and the video just continues on to the college boy and the nerd boy (why are these two different boys?) but i'm still caught off guard by the fucking ventriloquist like this dude just straight up has a muppet of himself and he's not even like doing a ventriloquist thing he just has it and is lip syncing to the song and he has the muppet and that's him he's the ventriloquist that's his thing. there was nothing else for him to be he's just the ventriloquist of the friend group. i cannot stop thinking about this. The Ventriloquist.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.
