can speak on the “rates” personally, they reached out asking if would write a researched piece of “at least 2k words” and when i asked about payment was told i could get 100 bucks honorarium which is WILD

I guess this is as good a time as any to share my letter to the LARB editor they refused to publish 8 years ago 😂

im so grateful for the people who risked reputational damage and professional retaliation to talk to me for this story. and really appreciate me everyone DMing me and commenting with more stories. idk if i’ll do a part two but i certainly have enough material for one

Oh I forgot to add that I eventually just started paying writers out of pocket

Highlight of the LARB takedown for me is not the IDF sniper himbo, but the editorial policy of humanizing Palestinians, provided no one mistakes them for fully articulate political subjects.

i'm not seeing enough people talking about the fact that an EIC was allegedly fired for lying to five Palestinian poets about the nature of an editor's letter that would introduce their poetry

Tell me that you have no idea how to run a magazine without telling me that you have no idea how to run a magazine.

The LARB has been a confusing mess for all 15 years of its existence — built for academics who want to publish a thinly edited article and add it to their CV. (It's telling they call the $100 they pay writers an "honorarium") Lot of room for someone to start something better!

Tasbeeh is an Angeleno to her core and I love her perspective on the place and the people and the things going on in and around it. She’s also a really good writer! Posters from Idaho or some bullshit love to have takes about California but Tasbeeh’s are real and worthwhile.
