“But the thing that got me through that moment, and any other time that I’ve felt stuck, is to remind myself that it’s about the work. Because if you’re worrying about yourself—if you’re thinking: ‘Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated?’ – then you’re going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you’ll always have a path. There’s always something to be done.” — President Barack Obama

The most significant fact about 20th-century English literature is that it was dominated by cliques and entangled with politics, from the very beginning of the century.  As I explained in "Modernist Manifestos & WW1: We Didn't Start the Fire—Oh, Wait, we Totally Did", this process began in France in the 1850s, when, in response to the overcrowding of the Paris Salons

Man, glad we don't have this happen today, or at least, have guards and police to stop it.

Thought this was interesting, along with other videos by the same Youtuber.

Here's what happened beforehand, if you're curious.

一/I/1. Nintendo Switch release in March.
二/II/2. Premiere of Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger and Kirakira PreCure A La Mode in February on TV Asahi for Sunday Mornings.
三/III/3. A new season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
四/IIII/4. Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States of America.
五/V/5. February will only have 28 days.

Okay, so I have, from time to time, recommended stories here — stories I felt were really good and deserved a few more views.
