My Slate piece on the widespread NEH grant cancellations is live. So much gratitude to everyone who took the time to talk with me these past few days while fighting fires on every side.

Reasons to support my translation work:

1) You'd get a better translation of the Bible.

2) You'd be supporting a disabled trans artist doing what they love.

3) Your money doesn't go to any church, religious publisher, or soulless corporation. It just buys me groceries and bicycle brakes (I seriously need some new brakes).

4) There is far more to the Bible than just religion. The Bible is the heritage of Jews, Christians, Muslims, numerous cults, and families across the world. You might even have a family Bible with your family tree in it, or an inherited or commemorative Bible.

No #humanities, no #history, no #cultural #education for the #USA. But, a big #parade for the #orange #turd #felon in the #WhiteHouse. Understood! This #criminal and the entire #corrupt #administration belong in #prison.

Nice article on the importance of the humanities in the United States, and the sheer mean-spiritedness of DOGE and the current administration in attempting to defund the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). #Politics #Economy #Nonprofit #DOGE #Humanities #Libraries #Museum #Culture #US #USpol #NEH https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/opinion/humanities-cuts-tennessee-neh-doge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-E4.o6pA.FztNFG2nZ08g&smid=url-share

Angered by the attacks on the #humanities & #libraries, I fired off a commentary. I hope you'll read it and then fire off your own letters to editors and members of Congress and then join your local historical society and visit a museum or library to show support.

When americans and russians understand "The Path to the Nest of Spiders" by Italo Calvino, we might get a chance for a fascist-free future. When the europeans and the chinese understands Wu Ming 1's "Arzèstula" we might get a chance for an apocalypse-free future. And if more people would at least read Sartres "Nausea" we could have a chance for an asshole-free future.

That sounds like the set-up to a weird joke, but the answer is that they were all recent presentation topics at Tokyo Humanities Cafe, a free quarterly event held in Ryozan Park Cafe in Sugamo. Conducted in English, THC meetups …

After a hiatus during the pandemic, Tokyo Humanities Cafe is back with free events for the intellectually curious — no academic background required. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2025/04/07/issues/tokyo-humanities-cafe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #community #issues #academia #humanities #universities #sugamo

People may not realize that state humanities organizations get most of their funding from the NEH. I've written (and received) two Wisconsin Humanities Council grants, so I know how important they can be to a community. Please click through to contact your legislators! #humanities #wisconsin #neh
