I’m a big fan of the onion, but this piece has always been a little weird to me because most Indigenous People don’t support Columbus Day and actually fought pretty hard against it. and we can ask for one day in addition to landback.

hey ben. the guy in the picture here is an actual person, my friend’s dad, and a spiritual leader of Lakota people, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. not only does he support Indigenous People’s Day, he’s the founder of World Peace and Prayer Day. feels weird to use his image and not his name.

The thing about the David Brookses of the world and hundreds of others like him is that only one or two have used their clout to do anything substantive about the horrors underway. Can you imagine having such a platform and only harrumphing *at the people standing up to the threat*? It's pathetic.

The essay?? chapter??? as a whole is about the unevenness of care, probably

The Hudson is cleaner now than it was when my mother swam in it, thanks in part to Toshi and Pete Seeger’s Clearwater initiative. The Clearwater sloop set sail in 1969, from Maine to the South Street Seaport, a graceful and dramatic flagship for an array of strategies—lobbying and legislation, environmental education, water testing—to clean the river of human-made pollutants, including mercury, PCBs, sewage outflow and pesticide runoff. They also worked, successfully, to close Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in 2021.

Sailing up
Sailing down
Stopping all along the way
The river may be dirty now, but it’s gettin’ cleaner every day

One of the things I know about Toshi and Pete Seeger—this is just a side note—is that when their kids were young, he was touring a lot and Toshi and their kids were living in a cabin “overlooking the Hudson” without running water. She had to walk half an hour to get water every day. When I tell this story I like to add that if this was me I would wake up every morning, ask my partner, “Are we moving today?” and punch him in the face if the answer were no. And I like to think I would. But it’s always more complicated than that.

Maybe it’s not a side note. If care has to be uneven, and it probably does, how do you keep that unevenness from enhancing the inequity that’s already there?

I was going to call this piece "Trouble in City Rivers" and I might still but it's sort of getting to be about something else

It worked, or something did. My mom is still alive, and every text from her now is a beautiful treasure. On my daily visits to the ICU and then the regular cardiac ward, the river’s gray light filled the room. Her hair was matted from having to lie on her back all the time, and I unpicked its currents, the way she used to do for me when I was little and wouldn’t brush my own. She remembers untangling my hair better than she remembers me untangling hers: her mind is protecting her from how bad that time was.

I really think this is what's underneath all the dudes who can't stand her work, like consciously or not they know that rage and grief is because of and towards the patriarchal world that deserves to be and must be undone, and they resent having to hear it

Didn't respond much to the Anne Carson Nobel news because of *gestures broadly* but I'm now remembering that she's the one who reminded us that tragedy (the dramatic form) exists because we are full of rage and that we're full of rage because we are full of grief, so *gestures broadly again*

Yes. Homelessness is a choice that we make, as a society, every day. If it gets treated as part of the architecture of civilization, that’s only because powerful forces want you to think that way. Finally, it would cost less to house every unhoused person than it costs us to leave them homeless.

Here are my sentences, about a nice conversation I had with a stranger

River water can be many colors and still be well. A young man on the High Falls viewing platform tells me he jumped in the other night: it was colder than he expected, not as deep, and the drop was “longer than I thought. I’m lucky to be alive.”

“I’m glad you lived,” I say.

“I’m glad I lived too. Well, I took swimming lessons, so I knew I was good there.” He didn’t mention any bacterial illnesses or weird skin rashes, but then he might not, to a stranger. We wished each other well and I left him sitting in the sun.

“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.
