Always Dreaming: On Diamond Jubilee and Hauntology
Cindy Lee’s compositions are fiddly little slices of heaven. She writes pop songs about memory and loss, sung in a delicate falsetto, backed by sweet harmonies.

Our NEA grant was canceled. Here’s a letter from our development director about what’s happening.
On Friday night, n+1—alongside many of our peer nonprofit arts organizations—received notice that our 2025 NEA grant has been terminated due to the Trump administration’s “shifting funding priorities.” We knew this might be coming, but receiving the official notice was still jarring, as was some of the messaging itself. It’s unclear to us whether we’ll still be able to recover the money we’ve been promised this year—a $12,500 grant meant to help us pay our authors, our editors, and to have the magazine printed and distributed to our readers. We’ve requested the funds we’ve already spent, and now we’re waiting to see if the money will come through. We’re trying to stay optimistic, but with the administration’s other announcement this week that the NEA might be shut down in its entirety, it’s hard to do so. 

I’m writing to ask for two things—first, for short-term, immediate assistance to help us replace these funds. You can make a donation through our website, or—if you’re in New York and free on June 10—you can buy a ticket to our annual benefit, the N Plus Ultra. Second, we ask for your ongoing support amid the challenges that we, and other small magazines, are already beginning to face. You can do that by subscribing, of course, convincing your friends to subscribe (or simply sending them a gift subscription), or by buying a bit of merch from our shop. And maybe most meaningfully, you can share the n+1 pieces you’re reading and stay engaged with (and be vocal in your support of) the independent media you care about most. We’ll need all the help we can get.

With gratitude,

Dani Oliver
Development Director, n+1

a public service announcement
On TERF kingdom over here

Yesterday, the US banned hospitals and medical schools receiving federal funding from practicing trans medicine for anyone under 19 years old. It is the beginning of the potential end of access to care, not only for America’s youth but all Americans, as the government order is likely to create a nationwide chilling effect. 

This will kill people. This will kill KIDS, first, and slowly but surely a lot more people.
