Death By StereoHear a dramatized adaptation of the dystopian classic, Brave New World, narrated by Aldous Huxley himself! His old-timey, droning voice makes it all the better! The CBS Radio Workshop was an “experimental dramatic radio anthology series” that aired between 1956 and 1957. It started with style with this gem!

Bodhi O'Shea"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle to suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal, not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to wedge, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AldousHuxley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AldousHuxley</a> "Brave New World"

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History August 21, 1680: Pueblo Indians captured Santa Fe from the Spanish. The Pueblo Revolt was an uprising against the Spanish colonizers in the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México. The Pueblos killed 400 Spaniards and drove the remaining 2,000 settlers out of the province. However, the Spaniards reconquered New Mexico 12 years later. One cause of the revolt was the Spaniard’s attempt to destroy the Pueblo religion and ban their traditional dances and kachina dolls.The Pueblo Revolt has been depicted in numerous fictional accounts, many of which were written by native and Pueblo authors. Clara Natonabah, Nolan Eskeets & Ariel Antone, from the Santa Fe Indian School Spoken Word Team, wrote and performed "Po'pay" in 2010. In 2005, Native Voices at the Autry produced “Kino and Teresa,” a Pueblo recreation of “Romeo and Juliet,” written by Taos Pueblo playwright James Lujan. La Compañía de Teatro de Albuquerque produced the bilingual play “Casi Hermanos,” written by Ramon Flores and James Lujan, in 1995. Even Star Trek got into the game, with references to the Pueblo Revolt in their "Journey's End" episode. The rebel leader, Po’pay, was depicted in Willa Cather’s “Death Comes for the Arch Bishop” and in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.”<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pueblo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pueblo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#revolt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rebellion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#uprising</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nativeamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nativeamerican</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newmexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#newmexico</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/plays" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#plays</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#playwright</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#novel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#startrek</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aldoushuxley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#aldoushuxley</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/willacather" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#willacather</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention">@bookstadon</a>
