This right here is an entire story, a poem, and a dream.
Listening to piano as I clean my home.

Flashbacks to Sarajevo. It was the only place I ever showed up in & prolonged my stay — from 3 weeks to 7 weeks.

I stayed on a hillside & passed a performing arts school to get to town. Every day, I’d hear opera, violin, piano from windows. I walked slower.

It's so obvious that it probably goes without saying, but any argument about gender norms should understand this fundamental truth:

Some people need there to be a clear hard line between being a man and being a woman, because they want to clearly understand who they can be sexist toward.

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.
Cuomo could never.

People love blaming "these days" for avoidable problems that were caused by the general incompetence and/or greed of the c-suite class.

it genuinely sucks so much in this country how often you only learn about a super fucking cool person because something horrifying has happened to them
The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.
This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Phenomenal piece on how publishing invests - or doesn’t - in debut and mid-list authors. Including our own @jeannakadlec.bsky.social
I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Beautiful tribute.

“(Redford) knew that representation wasn’t just about casting; it was about authorship. Who gets to tell the story? Who owns the narrative? … He showed that influence could be used not to take up space, but to *make space* for others.”
