While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Such a pleasure to talk with @jackewilson.bsky.social about my translation of Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni and why she was one of the most popular writers in 18th-century France (and how she practically disappeared from literary history).

I thoroughly enjoyed your piece and how, with no pretentiousness, you get to the heart of the experience of reading literature. Even the occasional boring passages. That's part of the immersiveness! Students are being robbed of something meaningful when they're just assigned digestible bites.

Good morning, my loves. Happy Tuesday! This is all i got today. I hope your day behaves.
Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become
aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead, approach the day calmly without
making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.
If the day shows any signs of resistance
to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
