I’m not on twitter much atm in an attempt to remain not-too-cynicism-drenched, but this is very kind, and goshhhh, so many beautiful books (and art! And music!) launched out into that early chaos!
Been thinking a lot lately about Lee Conell's THE PARTY UPSTAIRS, a very good novel that got lost in the early pandemic chaos. Fans of The White Lotus would be into it, I think, though it's less drenched in cyncism. I hope people will find their way back to it.

This #RoeVWade news dropping during this Gilded Age themed Met Gala is pretty dystopian

Alito’s draft heavily references English legal precedent, including that of famed jurist Sir Matthew Hale who, it should be noted, had at least two women executed for witchcraft and wrote a treatise supporting marital rape

Nine weeks of hustle & outreach. Nine weeks of believing we are in this together. Decades of strategy, grit + building. Wednesday’s terrorism seeks to distract us from what has been & what will be. So let’s take today to celebrate the orgs that brought us Tuesday’s victory: 1/

Thank you, Georgia grassroots organizers.
It has not escaped my attention that the day social media companies decided there actually IS more they could do to police Trump’s destructive behavior was the same day they learned Democrats would chair all the congressional committees that oversee them.
