In impossible nonsense: I'd like to learn to do a respectable axel. In impossible nonsense I pretend isn't impossible: I'd like to write an Oscar-winning screen play about my great-grandmother's life. Tbh the axel is far more likely. But the 1930s-esque silk dress I'd wear to the Oscars is divine.

All my love and solidarity to Quirk Books Union. The publishing industry has no future without unions, and I'm so proud that we were part of the effort to unionize publishing.

Mamdani got a humanities degree. His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

So upset about
@teenvogue.com
being absorbed into Vogue. Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets. Now there will be no political staffers left.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

I don’t know why I thought Teen Vogue would persist but here we are. Such terrible news for free speech, for political education, for the intellectual commons of girlhood.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I love this thread. I had great lit classes where many of these resonate with me even if they are snark. mine is that goofus and gallant (from the highlights for children series) is a take on class warfare, American exceptionalism, and European hegemony disguised as good manners.

This is what is confounding me about any convo involving AI and writing. Why would you outsource any part of the writing process to something that will do mediocre work, at best, and rob you of the best parts.

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

honestly amazing how much damage, violence, and sustained mistreatment the world can endure without in any way dimming its inexhaustible impulse towards repair. To quote George Eliot, these things are a parable

i dunno if it's really unhinged, but fanfiction is one of the oldest, perhaps the oldest, human literary tradition well either that or fanfiction as we think of it is an outgrowth of that tradition
