Very stressed and sad in #highlandpark this morning. We are safe but shooting happened three blocks from our house. So angry that this gun violence continues.

A person of interest has been identified in the Highland Park shooting, His name is Robert E. Crimo III, 22 years old, believed to be driving a 2010 silver Honda, per law enforcement.

Joyce Carol Oates I'm sorry but this reeks of a white oppression narrative . You want to write race but you're not a person of color? Go ahead but DO THE WORK. Research, study, talk to ppl from the community u wish to wrote about. Its not that they are afraid 2 offend. They just aren't that good

Joyce Carol Oates Your friend is a liar. Writers of color are still in the minority when it comes to debuts and certainly when it comes to advances. I think what u are mistaking for oppression is equality but it feels like oppression because you've never known any other way

Hi, um, Joyce Carol Oates (?!), We literary agents already get a bad rap. Please don’t. The young white male writers are fine. Let’s get the young editors more support so they have time to read. And let’s keep standing up for BIPOC & LGBTQ writers whose books are challenged.
