Want to submit something? It has to be

Academic.  It doesn't have to be for a class, but it can't be something you wrote on a napkin.
Politically- or socially-aware, even if only implicitly.  Use your judgement.
  Progressive, broadly defined.  Nothing authoritarian, bigoted, or libertine.

If it is, send it to the curator (preferably in html or pdf), including your name, class, and school, what course it was for and when, the title, and a brief synopsis.  Quality anonymous work will be accepted.  All submissions become copyleft.
