That this Nyer editor can only imagine the binary as ‘using your phone v. productive activities’ strikes me as sad. The phone addiction to me feels like never getting to rest, always working, and lacking the dreamy imaginative headspace of being unoccupied.

. @SenSchumer Don’t give in! The message is clear: Republicans would rather starve people and let planes crash than let them buy healthcare. Don’t give up and get *nothing* for your voters. #DemsUnited @TheDemocrats @SenatorSlotkin

i know you know but it's worth saying out loud: trump and the gop would rather starve people and crash planes than allow people to continue buying healthcare.

we know that a text does not consist of a line of words releasing a single "theological" meaning (the "message" of the Author-God), but is a space of many dimensions in which are wedded and contested various kinds of writing.
I'm sorry but reading in translation does not count as reading. To understand a text you must read it in the original and also if possible construct an immersive simulation of the author's life and historical context

My 90 yo dad went to an “authors & activism” event recently (already pretty cool), then sent me the program so I could see what he saw and liked <3. He’s one of few people I know who’s gotten more woke and left-leaning with age.

The vitriol and defensiveness in the comments on just the brief description of Millner's piece on IG made me think perhaps people might be interested in the longer history of lyric shame dynamics among U.S. poets and readers. (or, a plug for _Lyric Shame_, 2014)
Shame seemed like an obstacle to appreciating the poet. Instead, it became the key to understanding her work https://t.co/z4YAEW0BCW

Is Mary Oliver embarrassing? Maggie Millner reckons with the poet's reputation as an unserious poet—and finds new meaning in her work.
