This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. Toni Morrison.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

I remember once seeing a review calling Jemisin's The City We Became badly written because it's too on the nose. When the book is a call to arms and has never been more necessary for not just Americans to take it's core message to heart.

I posted my favorite books of 2024 over on Instagram and Minsoo Kang very kindly sent me a beautifully signed copy of The Melancholy of Untold History. This book is exquisite, a layered meditation on myth and history and storytelling that also contains an excellent cat. Highly, highly recommended.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Everybody is trying to make a Goodreads alternative without what's best about Goodreads. The sociability and wide library. To all tech bros making the next next Goodreads, we just want Goodreads without the bugs.

What is this sanitized language? "Draws criticism". That's like calling a house fire a mild temperature spike.

Instead of "I apologize for the delay," write "thank you for your patience." In lieu of "sorry for the oversight," write "if you're so perfect, why don't you fu*king do it, Marsha." Follow me for more etiquette tips. 😁

Watched Dial M for Murder and I have to say it's one of Hitchcock's few duds. Even though it was adapted from a play it didn't need to feel that way as a film. What a convoluted contrivance

Jessica Logan, a young mother, called 911 in the night. “He’s not breathing,” she said. Armed with a new junk forensic science, a detective listened and decided the call was likely staged. That’s where our story begins. (Published Nov. 2022)

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt. I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India. My father worked for the Pulse Polio program. What is happening?

I just finished The Will of the Many and I'm of the belief it's a story that would have been better served by being in 3rd person with more points of view or an omniscient narrator

What? No. We want the president to resign. We want the police to stop brutalising protestors. We want better systemic solutions and preventions to genocide. Femicide is already a crisis. The president declaring it makes no difference considering his record incompetence in every single issue
