Moodboard for my current project, a dark fantasy about the cannibalization of corrupted gods and the battle for an imperial throne. Comping to...THE POET EMPRESS x THE LEGEND OF MENEKA #DVParty
Nine images: a starry mountain landscape, a bloodied hand, a white hemispherical dome building, a lone gold fish on a black backdrop, an Indian woman staring at viewer, a Japanese traditional-based mask on a red backdrop, a red pagoda building with autumnal foliage, a field of blue hyacinth flowers, a lotus flower and lily pads in pond water.

“Kill your darlings” they say but I have found a secret third option (saving my darlings in a separate document with the wild futile hope that I can use that joke somewhere else in the script, until the doc is an exquisite corpse of contextless half-scenes that I never revisit)

Ok this author now appears to be getting cancelled for literally just *mentioning* Israel once in their latest book and not including a "(which I strongly oppose, by the way)" disclaimer so I'm forced to reassess that maybe what came across to me as annoying and neurotic was actually necessary lol

"The problem with Babel was that it wasn't didatic enough in its exploration of postcolonial theory" is a real position that some people hold.
From 34th Street: "This approach was incomplete and disappointing, considering the novel’s diverse cast of characters—Babel could have innovatively explored marginalized peoples as active agents rather than passive victims, and introduced aspects of postcolonial theory to its audience. Instead, Babel is limited in its worldview, painting resistance as more reactionary than transformative."

ALA is disappointed that the court did not grant our motion for preliminary injunction. The extent to which some libraries have already cancelled services and programming - and even lost staff in some cases - is evidence of the importance of IMLS.
