Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 50 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action. Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

Translators making contracts with Granta Books, be aware that your contracts must stipulate "name on FRONT cover," otherwise they interpret "cover" to mean "back cover." Apropos of some nifty new Erpenbeck covers on the way that once again leave off my name despite the contract.

One of the most moving things I read about Han Kang was how she dragged a cloth through a Norwegian forest before wrapping it around her unseen book, locked away for 95 years. She described it as a wedding of her manuscript with the forest or a lullaby for a century-long sleep

ethel cain on the election: "if you voted for trump, i hope that peace never finds you. instead, i hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you've done and who you are as a person."

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take: - Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption

When someone dies, we go searching for poetry. But I want elegies while I’m still alive... I want ballads, I want ugly, grating sounds, I want repetition, I want white space... and even center-aligned italicized poems that rhyme, and most of all — feelings. —Jenny Zhang

just a reminder that united healthcare and other health insurers are not "healthcare" companies. they are financial services companies created to generate profits by limiting patients' access to care.
