I love to get yelled at for simply writing that a book is about (among other things) β€œPalestinian liberation.” Just those words and it’s freak-out city.

Who was the "foodie"? A word that once signaled knowledge and experience now means almost nothing at all. In our Essay of the Week, @aliciadkennedy.bsky.social asks what it would mean to take taste seriously again. yalereview.org/article/alic...

should freelance writers get paid more than minimum wage?

it's a wild question, i know, but a lot of people seem to think it's OK that freelancer's rates have FALLEN every year

and when indie pubs try to pay even average rates, y'all complain about paywalls, which tells me your answer is "no!"
