"People have to have permission to write, and they have to be given space to breathe and stumble. They have to be given time to develop and to reveal what they can do... There are no soloists after all; this is group improvisation."

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.
If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Given the recent violence against protestors at Columbia who occupied a green space, let me reiterate that UC Berkeley spent *millions* cordoning off People’s Park with double-stacked shipping containers and razor wire. www.berkeleyside.org/2024/02/28/u... (All photos from Berkeleyside)

In high school my photo teacher strongly discouraged us from shooting trees. I get why, I think. But the thing is, trees are really very good.

I once looked longingly at Germany as an example of how a nation's public history could grapple with its past atrocities better than the US does. But in fact Germany's memory culture is rife with troubling dynamics. Read our Spring 2023 responsa: https://jewishcurrents.org/bad-memory-2

If you read the UN director in NY's resignation, you will see the entire settler colonial project of the state is indicted. He's worked in Gaza for decades. What has happened since October 7 has been genocide. What was happening before October 7 is genocide & this is the ongoing project we now see.

Sad to hear Louise Gluck has died. I liked her later work more and more, with its dust dry wit and playful feeling for poetic fiction. This was, I think, her last book: Marigold and Rose, a tiny novella about baby twins, which reads among other things like a beautiful late tribute to Woolf and Stein

That makes sense! I mean the relation you’ve described is why I love “underdeveloped”: it encompasses the extraction, the nature of infrastructure created, and the social-economic structures both created and disrupted.
