Cheers to those who celebrate:
Reading the Times's report of "Deaths in Gaza are Declining" has this weird resonance with Covid reporting—all of this death just assimilated into deranged naturalism, the presumed and inexorable way of the world. I find that chilling.
allowing myself to believe that joe hisaishi absolutely should, and win, best score at next year's academy awards for the boy and the heron now. he is one of the all-time greatest composers and it's wild that he's never been previously recognized by the academy for his work
“hurry up hurry up” of Can’t Hardly Wait….I simply do not get enough of that stuff
Thousands are sitting in at Grand Central Station demanding a #CeasefireNOW. In just two weeks, more than 7,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis were killed. Right now, Israeli warplanes are flattening entire neighborhoods in Gaza. This is what the US government is supporting.

Every idea is brilliant until you write it down :(
Chris walla, yes !
This is good article but fails to note the weird world of picture books is mostly for white male authors. I'd love to see a publisher acquire a PB from an author of color about death with pipes and promote it like a Klassen book. lithub.com/let-the-kids-g…
A month ago, I painstakingly wrote 3000 words of backstory so that today I could offhandedly write 30 words of dialogue summarizing it, allowing me to cut out the 3000. (Sometimes you invent memories so the characters can have them, not necessarily so readers will read them.)

What goes into a translation? Meaning, style, voice, ambiguity — and a lot of trial and error. Let a translator show you how she thinks about language. nyti.ms/3XJdDG8
I love when a book just starts, without any attempt to justify itself. Books should just start!
Alan Arkin was so great as the bewildered, scolding, sensibly petrified therapist to John Cusack's amiably psychotic assassin in 'Grosse Point Blank'. So much of the DNA of both the Tony Soprano/Dr. Melfi and Barry/Gene Cousineau dynamics are in that film. youtube.com/watch?v=3HZM37…
Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness. After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

it's good to cloown this but and also a whole generation has been taught to write essays to standardized test metrics so of course they think literature is about hitting a rubric or getting "best results"
I asked if I could have one of those, and they let me. So here's the whole @littlebrown team with their credit lines.
I would like a publishing executive to explain to me in detail how exactly editorial, production, and sales/marketing are not already functioning at absolute capacity.

BREAKING: City College of New York has launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Per release, “Organizers at CUNY draw on the legacy of the 1969 CUNY student protest movement, when more than 200 Black and Puerto Rican students de-occupied campus buildings at CCNY… for 17 days.”
The thing that some more senior editors don’t say but their actions speak for themselves is that they don’t editorial assistants whose career & skills they nurture and support…they just want admin assistants to do all the tasks they don’t want to do.
Good morning, give us a chance🙏
the real problem is that people see music criticism as an attack instead of simply an opportunity to understand music better, learn from the writer and find other artists to listen to. this actually REQUIRES comparing your fave to another (often older) artist.

Thanks @NifMuhammad. This conversation moved me deeply. One moment that ended up on the cutting room floor was advice to writers: "Yell into an empty room and then something new echoes back. And that is your own abilities telling you we can be transformed into something new."
Here is an interview that I was thankful to do, perhaps the most vulnerable of the interviews I’ve done in the past couple of months, which is saying a lot but is also a testament to the space Katherine created. I hope you’ll read it. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
