beingblog:
by Nancy Rosenbaum, producer
Jean Berko Gleason is the mother of the “wug test” whose findings rocked the world of linguistics when they were first published in 1958. The test demonstrated that children as young as three or four can internalize complex grammatical codes no one has necessarily ever tried to teach them — like forming plurals — and apply these rules broadly, even to...

True Naivety
What is it that the child has to teach?
The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness.

And the child is right.

It would appear to me that the time for centralized arts districts is either over or will be vastly sparser than we previously imagined, and Nicolai Ouroussoff seems to agree with me. What does it mean when American (or European, or Commonwealth) cities no longer have the money to fund the arts themselves? Where do we as a society- no, as a species, go from here? What...

@thedigitalghost socialism
@thedigitalghost that’s kinda what i was getting at. i’ve always been suspicious of people who would try to accuse socialism, communism or fascism in a moral light. My mother actually instilled this doubt early on. It seems all of these personal attacks, emotionally pleading, scab-picking attacks need to stop all-around. when one speaks to a world war II vets, their scorn is basically...

The cracked imperfect candle
full of bubbles and blemishes
the wick frayed and short
the one i choose today
the day after my fast
the month after my endeavor at reparations
what represents the life that i have built
what looks more like rubble
now, burning this candle
i release this guilt
the fire what will attempt to extinguish this pain
this hurt, this sore, sore heart and mind weary
