America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This is a major milestone.
It’s even bigger than this post indicates. Art Spiegelman won a special Pulitzer. Tessa Hulls won a Pulitzer for a category that branched off in 2023 from one established in 1917.

It is with immense pride that we acknowledge FEEDING GHOSTS as the first graphic novel to receive this distinction since Art Spiegelman’s MAUS was recognized in 1992. This historic achievement is a testament to the remarkable work of Tessa Hulls, to whom we extend our sincerest congratulations.

Wonderful, fabulous @cathkastner.bsky.social drew this portrait of me after my visit with her in Paris. It is accurate to every detail, from Sacre-Coeur in the background to my fuschia coat to the pockets on my suitcase to my omnipresent chocolat chaud.

So…more fun at Columbia.
I left the library at about 3:30 to go have tea with a donor. There was a crowd outside the entrance, but they were milling about. No chanting, no placards.

Look at this absolute BEAUTY of a cartoon: Sisters of Liberty!, by Burris Jenkins, 1943. From a time when a majority of Americans pulled together for a common goal.

The Columbia Spectator is published by a 501(c)3 that is financially independent from Columbia University. Outside donations are the reason they are able to keep up the amazing journalism they do, holding Columbia University accountable.

I saw a truly bizarre caryatid on a late 19th-c building near Columbus and 69th Street. I figured, that CAN’T be real. And what the hell—is she holding in her intestines??
I went looking for an image of the original in those 1940 WPA building photos and, sure enough, somebody did sumpin’.
