I knew parenting would be tough but I didn’t know I’d be crouched on the lower bunk wiping my kid’s vomit off the wallpaper while my other kid said, “you almost done, mama?” over and over and over

I’d love an essay on the ups and downs of the NEA throughout history. This is from a 1997 essay by Adrienne Rich about her refusal of the National Medal for the Arts

This contest with The Forge was I think the second place I submitted it. I really love how they ran the contest. 2 weeks for submissions. 2 weeks for reading and judging. Everything was announced within about a month, I believe. $5 entry fee (!) — barely more than the average regular submission fee

As a copywriter, keeping things short and concise comes somewhat naturally now. I always knew the piece hinged on its last line, and I just needed to work out what came before it.

I wrote it as a poem at first. In sharing it with a couple of poets, I realized how ill equipped I was to write a poem after 15+ years away from the genre. Decided to try flash instead. I’d never written flash, but had read it and had a sense for how it worked.

I initially jotted it down on my phone about a year ago, just trying to get out the disconnect I was feeling, what Naomi Klein calls “lives built on not seeing and not knowing”

Harvard Educational Review spent a year preparing a special issue on education in and about Palestine. In June, contributors were notified that the Harvard Education Publishing Group had abruptly canceled the issue's release. This is censorship and cowardice. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

the thing about the NYT releasing a podcast about trans healthcare is that if it’s not the story of how the alliance defending freedom captured the most influential liberal media outlet in the us and got it to provide a veneer of scientism to a bigoted religious crusade, what is it about?
