When Jane Fonda accepted the SAG-AFTRA Lifetime Achievement Award, she turned the stage into a call to action: “We have to be brave. And we have to be willing to be woke.” At 87, she’s using as she says, her privilege to stand up for peace, women’s rights, and climate. Link in bio. #fresh-air

Writer Ocean Vuong has been asking: Why did the working-class people he grew up with show such deep kindness, even when there was nothing to gain? In Emperor of Gladness, and in life, he returns to one moment of shared grief in a fast food kitchen. Link in bio.

Ocean Vuong's new novel, 'The Emperor of Gladness,' is the first he's written, from start to finish, since his mother died in 2019. He says writing it was a way to honor her memory. @tonyamosley.bsky.social
