The Writer's strike and Humanities
skbrust has a post here that has a link to this interesting analysis of some of the implications of the writer's strike.
The comment to that entry by victoria_lane point to this fabulous piece by Joss Whedon.
Both are incisive, interesting and well written -- and they illuminate with like lightbulbs and flashing neon the point I (and ithiliana and several others) have been trying to make about Humanities. dejla put it in a nutshell for me: How can you be counter-culture if you don't have an understanding of the culture you are protesting?
And on that note, I'm going to see if the bidding has opened on Sweet Charity which is doing a special auction to benefit the Writer's Guild Foundation Industry Support Fund which is aimed at helping people affected by the strike (like the crew-folks out of work and the like).
