RT Megha (@megha_lilly)I recently finished reading an essay from a Columbia English Major recalling her experience of studying literature in modern academia. Her experiences recall being excoriated and receiving failing grades if she ever insinuated that an author revealed positive emotion toward a patriarchal structure or if a heterosexual love was not subverted to be “secretly queer”.It’s disgusting what they do in the humanities. I never formally studied the humanities and now I know I was saved from wat ...

It was a privileged childhood.I was also a child of the new millennia, the optimism of joining the EU, the early days of digitalization, and it felt like the world was finally healing after decades of conflict. And we felt mo ...

[music] It's a sweltering day in Queensland. I'm sitting in a small room in a juvenile detention center. The walls stretch wide, but the room closes in.There are bars on the windows that don't let in any light. Nothing sharp, nothing dangerous, nothing you could use to harm yourself or anyone else. A space designed to be safe but stripped of everything human.And in that room sits a boy, 16 years old, arms crossed, eyes fixed anywhere but mine, silent. How are you feeling today. Would you mind sharing a litt ...
