Harper's Magazine Puns

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I work with an organization who is in the possession of a couple of totes of old Harper's Bazaar magazines. Is there any market for these? They are from the 1870s and 1880s. We're mainly just looking to get rid of them as they're take up much needed space. Any advice is appreciated

Saw this posted on r/exbhuddism. Make sure you're stable before you go push yourself too hard too fast, and even then make sure you're not getting taught meditation by a cult that couldn't give a crap about psychosis. Meditation apparently makes your mental health worse after more than half an hour a day, if you feel that meditation is necessary at all... https://harpers.org/archive/2021/04/lost-in-thought-psychological-risks-of-meditation/

Mentions quite severe dissociation in 'zen meditators'... And remember cats and kittens life is supposed to be fun even in emptiness 😺

Minor Threat: MLB puts the minors out to pasture

The proponents of contraction argued that the expansive minor-league system was a wasteful anachronism; hundreds of players with no hope of making the majors populate teams just for the purpose of evaluating a few top prospects. Much of this work, the thinking went, could be replaced by a system of quantitative analytics that would allegedly identify the next generation of superstars. “It was crazy to have an entire league set up so a handful of top picks can have real games to play,” a former Appalachian League player said. “It was an elaborate ruse that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”

But was it? What about those who considered their time in the Appalachian League the highlight of their professional lives, as well as a source of potential future jobs, not to mention a lifetime of stories told over beers? What is baseball? Our national pastime, an enduring slice of Americana? Or just a business? Does an enterprise that purports to be part of the fabric of America—and one that for the past hundred years has enjoyed a unique federal antitrust exemption—have a responsibility to prevent that fabric from fraying? Or should the league simply maximize value for its owners, as most corporations do?

I'm a writer for Harper's Magazine working on a series of stories about collapse, focusing in particular on the ways in which global society is tracking (or not) the collapse trajectory envisioned in the 1972 Limits to Growth report, which I wrote about for Pacific Standard Magazine (https://psmag.com/magazine/fallacy-of-endless-growth) a few years back. You might also want to check out the LA Times op-ed I co-authored with filmmaker Jeff Gibbs (of "Planet of the Humans"): https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-01-31/societal-collapse-collapseology-climate-change I'm interested in hearing from any/all comers on this subject.

I know this question is probably better fit for r/askjournalists, but that subreddit only has 62 subscribers so I figured that no one would even see my question. I figured I could ask here because these magazines publish literary essays. If there are differences worth noting that for some reason do not have to do with the magazines content, I would be curious about those differences as well.
