Judeo-Christian :fozzie_wocka_wocka:
"Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.
Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.
The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

~ Must-Read ~
Which #Literary Classic would you recommend for someone to read at least once in their lifetime? -
📢New Publication Alert!
🔵🔴Access 'Thinking Blue/Writing Red' by Stephen Tumino—an exploration of contemporary #culture through the lens of #Marxism.
'Thinking Blue/Writing Red' interrogates contemporary culture across a range of texts, from the #pandemic (‘#Covid’ and ‘#TrumpSpeak’) to high theory (#Melville's narratives) and popular culture (#Beyoncé's ‘#Formation’ and #SuperBowl performance, #TwinPeaks, metamodern ‘cli-fi’ films). Inspired by #Derrida’s idea of the secret, Tumino examines the significance of social movements (#BLM, #Occupy, alter-globalization) and naïve art (#Darger, #Ryden) to argue that these texts speak of the secrets that capitalism cannot.
This book will be of interest to students in several disciplines, including #philosophy, #literary and #culturalstudies, #filmstudies, #womensstudies, #criticalrace studies, history, #LGBTQ+ studies and #environmentalstudies.

It's been fascinating learning from author Amra Pajalic as to how she's used writing and small business grants to propel her writing career in both fiction and non-fiction. It's also been fun diving into her creative works - love the anthologies she's been a part of too.
Has anyone else had literary/creative/small biz success by pursuing grants? would be great to hear from you.

Someone sent this to me earlier today.
Now it is stuck in my head because I apparently never looked at them as I was stuffing them in my mouth.
It's like the winning lottery numbers in that old fortune cookie I threw away years ago all over again. Sigh.
I don't believe I was always so oblivious to details but here I am.
