Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Same as it ever was. The Oligarchs and political powers are absolutely terrified of socialism, and its appeal to the peasants. 100 years ago I document this in my new book THE DISSIDENTS. #socialism #dissidents

Here's the deal on preorders: Booksellers have a lot of different books. So they use preorders as a metric to determine demand. They then make their order based on that determined demand. Every 1 preorder is worth 10 additional copies sold down the road. Maybe more. Please preorder.

Routledge's reissue edition of 'Global Manga' features a cover image with Japan removed. Evidently? Maybe for some editions but not others? I've never actually seen one in real life, though. Does anyone actually own a copy with a cover like the image on the right? Inquiring minds want to know!

AI looks appealing to companies in the age of Content, where work exists only to be consumed as fast as possible, but the poignance and the point of art have always been the connection with another human being.

We genuinely need more passionate curators in publishing, production, and other fields. People that love art and want to share it, and build a brand around the kind of work they're into. We do not need more people trying to push artists out of their own field.
