I don't think it's optional for the LARB to respond to this part if it wants to continue having a readership, period

Idk it is very frustrating to see serious accusations clearly sourced from former employees by a reporter misrepresented!!

The time period in question is not the previous year in the piece you are subtweeting!

Seriously some of you need to get a grip.

The way people are defending the los angeles review of books on here is making me uncomfortable

Tasbeeh’s article outlines the policy under Michelle Chihara. When I came on after Chloe, I was able—in part through sheer ignorance of what had come before—to commission writers such as Mary (the opportunity to collaborate with whom was a big part of why I stayed as long as I did)

I wrote about the history of Black Zionism for @thefunambulist.bsky.social and the baffling ways that people use identity/oppression to justify genocidal and colonial state projects past and present. Marcus Garvey, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and much more offer disturbing warnings. Preorder if you can!

One of my arguments in my book Family Abolition is that idealizing traditional family values, death camps for children, and systematic child rape are all different sides of the same logic. I did not expect news headlines to spend the next three years relentlessly proving this right.

I fucking hate the police

someone is getting a refund of the tariffs they paid but it isn't you. all you did was pay a higher price for something.

"Espinoza Arriaga’s oldest son Alexis came out holding the 5-year-old, who had been getting ready for school and wasn’t wearing socks or shoes yet.

(I really, really hate the word "distraction" when used in politics. Most often, stuff COMPOUNDS. Power accumulates. Oppression spreads wider. Almost nothing is a distraction.)

Quitting my job as a poet to follow my dreams and become an information technologist

Art's role in material social justice is limited. Israel is widely hated and condemned not because of Ben Hania's film but because of gleeful footage taken by Israelis.

With all due respect to Kaouther Ben Hania, she still participated in Berlinale, which is under boycott. Her presence aids Berlinale in generating money and clout for Germany, which is financially and militarily tied to Israel's genocide
