'I see that you're upset the zombie ate your friend, but that doesn't mean we hit'

SEPTEMBER 25. Yesterday morning I made another start on “The Moths,” but that won’t be its title. . . . Who thinks it? And am I outside the thinker? DECEMBER 26. I wish I enjoyed it more. I don’t have it in my head all day like “The Lighthouse” and “Orlando.” 1930: JANUARY 12. I can now hardly stop making up “The Waves.” . . . What is essential is to write fast and not break the mood. MARCH 17. The test of a book (to a writer) is if it makes a space in which, quite naturally, you can say what you want to say. As this morning I could say what Rhoda said. APRIL 9. It is bound to be very imperfect. But I think it possible that I have got my statues against the sky. APRIL 29. The greatest stretch of mind I ever knew. . . . I suspect the structure is wrong. Never mind.

well and they can't all be done at once, right? so the question is which elements the reader is patient for...and on both literary & sff sides it seems reader patience is generally low

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

Screenshot of a single question and answer from interview in the Times Literary Supplement with Ursula K. Le Guin. Here is the quote: If you could make a change to anything you’ve written over the years, what would it be? In The Dispossessed, I would mention the communal pickle barrels at street corners in the big towns, restocked by whoever in the community has made or kept more pickles than they need. I knew about the free pickles all along, but never could fit them into the book.

A tweet from the ADL: We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity. We appreciate the Trump Administration's broad, bold set of efforts to counter campus antisemitism — and this action further illustrates that resolve by holding alleged perpetrators responsible for their actions. Obviously, any deportation action or revocation of a Green Card or visa must be undertaken in alignment with required due process protections. We also hope that this action serves as a deterrent to others who might consider breaking the law on college campuses or anywhere.
The Anti Defamation League is so right, if there’s one thing that makes me feel safe as a Jew, it’s people with unpopular political opinions getting abducted by the government
