Next fiction I'm gonna read: Le Guin (three first books of hainysh cycle, then The Dispossessed), Lian Hearn (various), @goddessblade.bsky.social (Calyx Charm), Kazuo Ishiguro (Remains of the Day), and Kim Stanley Robinson (Red Mars)
One really good thing for me this year that is I've started reading and enjoying fiction again... I'll probably do a "books I read this year" list/review next month, it's been quite fun!!
Heck maybe I'll start enjoying music again too, any recs??

Update: the play's writer responded, explaining the play is intended for white & Jewish audiences. I asked why I was invited & she replied - "We are reaching beyond the normal theater-going public, which is why we contacted you."
LOL.
Her name is Francesca Root-Dodson.

Hello. If your play calls what's happening in Gaza a “conflict” & a “war”, centers the story of two white people’s marriage "torn apart after Oct 7" to do it & involves no Palestinians in “the team” in the process please stay the fuck out of my inbox with your complimentary tickets. Thank you.

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

A reminder that according to Fetterman's own former staffers, Fetterman had a meeting with J-Street president Jeremy Ben Ami in which he told Ben Ami that he believes Arabs are like a "carton of sour milk" and that we should get back to killing.
"Kill them all" Fetterman is reported as having said.

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

Karlyn, I hope you and your friends heard me when I said: My views aren’t the reason you’re lonely & can’t afford groceries. Your enemies aren’t us, your enemy is a government that’s put the interests of billionaires over your interests. We have no power over you, but they do.

“Our role in the movement is not to elect progressives and then step back. There are no prophets and no heroes — not even our fresh-faced Mamdani. Our movements will keep having to fight across all fronts — through ballots and community meetings and protests.”
For @inthesetimes.com I argued that "New Yorkers will only win the campaign promises Mamdani ran on if they keep the movement that elected him alive." I am so happy to see the 104,000 volunteers are not going home....
