An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

I think my favorite thing about seeing a new PTA movie each time is still thinking about it the day after and having new thoughts and feelings about scenes and feeling the need to see it again very soon.

if you’re wondering if i’m the first person to watch One Battle After Another and Dirty Dancing in the same day, yes, I probably am. Sometimes it’s not your week to pick for family movie night

I took probably too many words here to grapple with Paul Newman’s supposedly favorite role, Reggie Dunlop; what it means to be a good teacher; what it means to try to succeed in America; and how to subvert the systems that want to keep us down. Give it a read?

When Elizabeth pitches SLAP SHOT, you approve that pitch, always 🏒

Also, everyone deserves a teacher as wonderful as her, as her essay more than demonstrates!

A wonderful essay from Jonathan Biss, on how immersing ourselves deeply in a piece of music provides an antidote to the"avalanche of stimulus" modern life bombards us with:

"In our splintered, combustible world, this immersion is the path of most resistance, and a gift beyond words."

String Quartet No. 12 in E-Flat Major, Op. 127: II. Adagio ma non troppo e molto cantabile
