Jeez. Buy more books from these presses, direct if possible. I've got books from 8 of these in my library. Grants are critical to many translation projects, too. It's about community and an expanded worldview, in addition to good reading.
The devastating, shortsighted attack on literature continues. List from Magic City Books. Who'd they miss? Note: the small publishers selected here for financial attack include (among other very worthy and important presses) @transitbooks.bsky.social, publisher of 2023 Nobel laureate Jon Fosse.

I haven't donated to Harvard in years for a variety of reasons, and lord knows I still have plenty of issues with them, but really proud of them today. And I'm going to make a little donation to remind them that standing up for academic freedom is GOOD for alumni relations.
"We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights." FINALLY. Thank you, @harvard.edu, for FINALLY taking a stand.

“Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay. I'm always irritated by people who imply that writing fiction is an escape from reality. It is a plunge into reality and it's very shocking to the system.”―Flannery O'Connor (born March 25th, 1925)

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

I love all books equally, but there’s something special about older books with pages that are turning yellow, that feel a little brittle, a little crispy. I love books that have been around for decades, letting that narrative simmer.

Trump signed an executive order coercing medical providers to withhold health care from transgender patients.

So we're suing to stop him.
These hospitals suspended transgender care amid Trump's executive order. But can they do that?
Denver Health, Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and VCU are some of the hospitals who said they're suspending or reviewing care.
