Once you reach a certain age, a great way to go through life is, whenever you hear young people saying something that challenges you or that you don’t understand, presuming they may have a point and becoming curious about what you may not see. Just be curious. Avoid obsolescence!

Friendly reminder that the group that is the most politically engaged is atheists. Atheists engage in about twice as many political activities as white evangelicals. 50% of atheists made a political donation in 2020. It was 26% of white evangelicals.
Love this piece!
Dear @Bookshop_Org, why are you charging $24 for my book when the publisher's price is $17? I believe in what you're doing and want to support your store, but I can't send people to a place that overcharges like this! bookshop.org/p/books/it-s-n…

Loved this! Don't get me started on 'good literary citizenship' or how poetry is a 'gift economy.' Economic privilege sits at the root of these lofty notions. Aspirational labor benefits those who can afford to work for free and needs to stop being institutionally endorsed.

@saraeckel This was great. I also once read (which helps me through my despondency sometimes) to not give up hope after big losses, either. Many great changes/revolutions took time; our failure at one point in time may simply be setting the path for those behind us to finish the job.
Good stuff from my friend Sara: “Trying to determine whether or not justice will prevail is a parlor game. You can’t know. You just have to do your part to ensure that, however things turn out, you know that you did the right thing.”
I wrote about how Christine Blasey Ford's memoir is helping me cope with ... everything. open.substack.com/pub/saraeckel/…

Honestly the world is terrible and life is short so you should just probably write whatever fuck kind of book you want to write.
