my day job is in scholarly publishing for a journal under a govt-funded org. things are very bad and will likely get much worse before they get better!!
I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month.

This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate.

A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.
This is a shamefully racist movement that should be resisted by every person of good will.

@brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s forthcoming book is incredible and it’s honestly the archive’s loss (and the nation’s).

tonight someone said to me “if you’re writing in second person you need to stop and ask why it isn’t first person” and I have never felt so naked and afraid.
