Did anyone else feel incredibly uncomfortable listening to this @nytimes.com interview? It felt like DM was barely concealing his skepticism of the book's premise?? More air time was devoted to nitpicking the title, than actually engaging w/ contents + arguments www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/m...

Friends, book reviews are drying up. We all know this. But it's worth repeating. Advance reviews we used to (gratefully!) count on are no longer a given; we're not getting them. Newspapers where intrepid reviewers used to talk about our books . . . well, you know. PLEASE, if you read our books . . .

Public historians and other women librarians founded Save Our Signs with a goal to create a crowdsourced historical record of information signs at national park sites, in the event they are changed under the Trump administration. bit.ly/4zBUJUz

National park signs on women and LGBTQ+ history are disappearing. Librarians are preserving the record
The revisions have scrubbed or softened accounts of violence, slavery, activism and lived experiences, raising questions about whose stories the government considers worth telling.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

What I find interesting about this line is that it’s an admission in order for this to happen, they need you to lose your ordinary intelligence that you already have. This is why they want to get into schools. They want kids to lose basic capacity so that they have to rent it forever.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know? But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional". Ladies, it was a breakthrough. I should have done this years ago.
