The notion that only "genius" writers can write books worthy of canonization is one of the primary ways that hierarchies of domination reproduce themselves in publishing.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Cosmopolitan, egalitarian values are better than authoritarian values and it would be cool if one of our two political parties argued as much instead of spending decades trying to avoid cultural arguments by clinging to "it's the economy stupid" or "kitchen table issues" or "affordability."

Being a parent is such an embodied experience. You read, and you talk to people, and all that, and it's all useful, even essential, but you learn how to be a parent most of all by being physically present with, engaged with, connected to, your kid.
You, as a person. With your specific kid.

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I reject the notion that we must coddle and support people who don’t want to live near people who speak other languages, and it’s not clear to me how this is significantly different than “it’s fine not to want to live next door to someone of a different ethnicity or religion.”

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.
