At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

technically you can, if you don’t care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses.

Free Courses from Stanford.

Free Courses from MIT.

Free courses from Yale.

Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx

Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there’s The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you’re looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, “free online college courses.”

Oh, and so you don’t get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

Harvard alone has these free online classes:

Citizen Politics in America: Public Opinion, Elections, Interest Groups, and the Media

U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy

U.S. Public Policy: Social, Economic, and Foreign Policies

We the People: Civic Engagement in a Constitutional Democracy

Justice

…in case anyone wants to brush up on how these things (are meant to) function.

Keep it up!

Keep calling, keep emailing, keep going to town halls, keep protesting! Dont give them a moments peace! These bastards are cowards who dont like a spotlight put on them. They want to be authoritarians quietly and freak out when people notice them and call them out on it!

If we have to be miserable the next 2-4 years, so do they and we vote them out!

Okay okay I’ve got one I think will be fun!!

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Could you write a convincing 1-2k word fic for this fandom?

Yes, easy, I’ve read/watched/played this piece of media and could write for it!

Yes, I know enough about it through fandom/internet osmosis that I could BS 1k

Eh, I could TRY but someone who knew the media would know I was BSing

No, I’ve heard of this media but I don’t know enough about it to BS a fic

I have never heard of this media in my life

Nuance option??
