What Thoreau had to say about meaningless work With talk of quiet quitters and pressure on employers to create a space where we can bring our whole selves to work, work is still work. Some of it’s great. Much of it can feel meaningless. It’d be easy to think that the events of 2020 and beyond caused us to wrestle with our relationship with work, but these questions…Read more... https://qz.com/what-thoreau-had-to-say-about-meaningless-work-1850225241

Audre Lorde in 1986: "Well, the feminist movement, the white feminist movement, has been notoriously slow to recognize that racism is a feminist concern, not one that is altruistic, but one that is part and parcel of feminist consciousness... I think, in fact, though, that things are slowly changing and that there are white women now who recognize that in the interest of genuine coalition, they must see that we are not the same. Black feminism is not white feminism in Blackface. It is an intricate movement coming out of the lives, aspirations, and realities of Black women. We share some things with white women, and there are other things we do not share. We must be able to come together around those things we share."

from the interview with the Afro-German feminist scholar and author Dr. Marion Kraft, source Wikipedia

#bornonthisday Audre Lorde (Feb 18, 1934 – Nov 17, 1992) was an American writer, womanist, radical feminist, professor, and civil rights activist. She was a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," who "dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia."

Walt Whitman Paints Beautiful Poetry and a Deathless Attachment to Freedom

In his intro to Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman undoubtedly casts a net over the immense semantics of liberty and posterity in the Constitution. #whaltwhitman #poetry #quotes #americanwriter #american #poet #whitman

If there ever was a writer who weaves vivid tales of American liberty and posterity as represented in the preamble to the Constitution, it is without a doubt, Walt Whitman. In his introduction to Leave of Grass, Whitman casta a net over the immense semantics of liberty and posterity as presented by our founding fathers: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,…

Jack Kerouac, railroad brakeman’s rule-book in pocket, couch pillows airing on fire-escape  overlooking backyard clotheslines, south view three flights up, my apartment 206 East 7th Street between Ave B and Ave C, Lower East Side Manhattan. He’d completed On The Road,Visions of Cody, Dr.Sax &’d begun Book of Dreams and Pic, was in midst Subterraneans affair with “Mardou Fox”, that novel completed some year along with the romance Maggie Cassidy. Burroughs then in residence edited Yage Letters & Queer Mss. Gregory Corso visited that season. Probably September 1953 (caption and photo: Allen Ginsberg)

Jack Kerouac turns 100 today. HB Jack!

“Few 20th-century authors have shaped the American imagination as much—or inspired so many readers, writers, and musicians—as Kerouac. While Kerouac was never comfortable with being considered the “King of the Beats” (indeed, the success of On the Road pretty much ruined his life), that novel, with its classic themes of freedom, longing, and the search for authenticity, helped crystallize a rebellion against the complacency and prosperity of postwar America. It encouraged people then, and in generations afterwards, to swim against the tide, to do things that weren’t supposed to be done, to seek new experiences.” — Paul Slovak, Executive Editor, Viking Books (via lithub)
