shirley jackson you tell em www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

ar and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise
—is the reader. The reader is, after all, a kind of silent partner in this whole business of writing, and a work of fiction is surely incomplete if it is never read. The reader is, in fact, the writer's only unrelenting, genuine enemy. He has everything on his side; all he has to do, after all, is shut his eyes, and any work of fiction becomes meaningless. Moreover, a reader has an advantage over a beginning writer in not being a beginning reader; before he takes up a story to read it, he can be presumed to have read everything from Shakespeare to Jack Kerouac. No matter whether he reads a story in manuscript as a great personal favor, or opens a magazine, or—kindest of all—goes into a bookstore and pays good money for a book, he is still an enemy to be defeated with any kind of dirty fighting that comes to the writer's mind.

Even if you've never been a union member, the attacks on unions have cost you money. The typical worker would be earning $5,000 more a year if unions were as strong today as they were five decades ago

lol, I can fill you in here and now: there are none! I deliberately eliminated pizza from the mix for lack of time & space. (Same with laminated pastries.) That said, everything I learned while making it I am now starting to apply to pizza formulas, so stay tuned...

i wasn’t looking for a man to be my protector, i was looking for backup flaminghydra.com/gentlemen-an...

"What the hell was that?" I asked. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"You expect me to pick a fight with a crazy person?"
"No!" Even I could hear myself sounding hysterical.
"I don't expect you to pick a fight with a crazy person, I expect you to say something for me!"
My friend had a point. If a guy is so determined to own the sidewalk that he'll literally behave like a rabid animal about it, he might indeed take any remark about his behavior amiss, perhaps even as an invitation to fight. But I had a point, too. As long as my friend said nothing on my behalf, the lone man correctly figured it was just him against some girl. He could take me. We both knew it. I wasn't looking for a protector; I was looking for backup. For someone to take my hand and assure me that whatever happened, it would not be one against one.

This guy literally packed the courts because Utahns passed an anti-gerrymandering referendum and the state Supreme Court justices, many of whom he appointed, repeatedly sided with the people over him and his fellow Republicans. Spare me the white man tears www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Abolish the death penalty. Not just for Christa Pike and Allan Miller, but for every victim of premeditated state murder who went before and every one yet to come. Retribution is not justice; it is barbarism.

The Los Angeles Times is running a full webpage advertisement promoting tourism to Israel. The ad is backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. The ad also includes a map of Israel that erases Palestine.

LA Times page promoting tourism to Israel
"Israel:

You'll Find It Here

Israel is a country shaped by ancient traditions and diverse cultures, where every region offers a distinctly different atmosphere. You can spend the morning walking ancient pilgrimage sites, the afternoon floating in serene waters or relaxing on the coast, and the evening eating your way through vibrant market stalls before heading out for a night that ends when the sun rises.

From sacred sites to desert adventures, these guides offer different ways to explore the country. There’s no single right way to experience it, so follow what interests you, mix and match along the way, and leave some room to wander."

Also includes a disclaimer from LATimes:
"This Paid Program is either (i) produced by the advertising department of the Los Angeles Times on behalf of the Advertiser or (ii) supplied by the Advertiser. The newsrooms or editorial departments of the Los Angeles Times are not involved. For those with questions, please email paidpost@latimes.com."

LATimes ad for Israel continued. Includes map of Israel that erases Palestine.

if you begin feminist history at #MeToo then it's easy to despair that nothing has changed (or that some things have actually gotten worse). if you take a much longer view though things have changed so much! the little gestures we make today are adding up to something we can't see yet!

I'm in much the same boat, and really can't go back to full-time work right now or in the foreseeable future because I have out-of-state caregiving responsibilities. I've been lucky in life in a lot of ways and I've been able to make it work even with premium increases, but it's getting harder.
