I found and continue to find partial salvation in the humanities. Went away from them for a few years to focus more fully on union fights & activism, but damn it's hard to stay steady without the cozy & stimulating blur a couple of metaphors and palimpsests bring to the table to help you through the sharp edges of activism.

Thanks to the Corrymeela Podcast seasion 3, ep.1 for reminding me of the value of the humanities in activism!
