Dear Ms. Adams,  I'm deeply concerned about hate speech against Amelie Panai, the daughter of a Muslim. Many things have happened to her recently, but perhaps the worst happened today, where students said "she should be killed before she bombs the school,"  This is absolutely unacceptable as I'm sure you know.  The disinhibiting effect of the current president's speech has resulted in students at my job (Rice U), who are normally very shy and introverted, doing things such as wearing swastikas in the library.  I understand from my daughter, who is Amelie's best friend, that students have drawn swastikas on the dividers of students who attend classes that Amelie attends.  When stuff happens at my school I tell the president to make a statement--he usually doesn't do it, for whatever reason--but I just couldn't hear what I have been hearing without writing to you to share.  Yours sincerely,  Timothy Morton

At my daughter's middle school, 12 year old children are drawing swastikas on the dividers of kids in classes where her best friend is, who is the daughter of a Muslim from Indonesia. Those of you who voted for him out of spite or out of actually naively believing he was talking and therefore was going act like Sanders: you happy now? Yeah? Happy now?

Looks really interesting . From some conference proceedings. And this one, too, in   Balkon , an arts journal .

David is such a good performance artist. This will be amazing!

This is a very nice piece about the lately departed anti-utilitarian utilitarian.
