It's ridiculous this would be like me asking them to change the ending in romeo and juliet in school because I thought it was to sad or something Ovids metaphorphisis is obviously a very major work in classical poetry if students are unwilling to engage with it they should just be expelled or at least failed

 

[Lili Marlene]

Way to engage, hydromancer.

John Waters to Grads: 'Go Out in the World and Fuck It Up Beautifully'

Nice speech that touches on many topics but there is this


On trigger warnings:

"The amazing concept I've heard about is where you’re supposed to warn students if you’re gonna talk about something that challenges their values? I thought that’s why you went to college. My whole life has been a trigger warning, but you have been warned. So the trigger warning is in effect, and now back to the prepared speech."


and almost all the comments are in defence of trigger warnings

If you read that trigger warning bit as the Irish John Waters it comes across a bit sinister though.

Poor John

"I remember giving an interview in Ireland once and at first the woman reporter was so mean to me, I couldn't figure what the problem was but then half way through she threw her hands up and screamed “You’re not THAT John Waters” and then was really nice."

I saw a thing on the joursheet yesterday about something completely unrelated to any of her areas of interest and out of nowhere in the comments someone cropped up to take a pop at her. Was very odd.

This is a crisis across America that America has refused to deal with. It’s a crisis across the world. But here, we’re allowing a portion of our society to be assaulted and then just leaving them to deal with it.
