The trailer is out for The Safe House: A Documentary on the Decline of UK Libraries
This shelf note at The Regulator Bookshop. "The best is that 'please' is crossed out."
Where Trans Bodies and Straight Fragility Meet by Joseph Osmundson "Straightness seems awfully fragile to need protection from a trans threat that literally does not exist."
At the Grub Street Writers of Color Roundtable by Swati Khurana, in which we are introduced to Grub Street and learn that we need to read more Mira Jacob (so much more), along with a reminder that people are, indeed, terrible.
Electric Literature is now seeking essay submissions!!! (psst: they pay a bit)
Yale University Press is looking for a Executive Editor, History (side note: that's the job I want: editing history. Say goodbye to your frumpy expectations of women and focus on accomplishments over behavior. No more T Jeff wasn't the worst. None of that. No more fake revisionist bullshit about how all the overly powerful men in the world weren't really terrible, history has simply painted them that way. Nope. I want my history to be focused on pizza, sidewalks, urban parks and the development of shoes (demon spawn! (I hate shoes)).)
