“Asking ‘Is Barbie a feminist?’ is a bit like asking “Why would a loving God allow so much suffering?’” I wrote about the movie. https://t.co/iNn4OKIIFE

In 2021, my 40-year-old cousin was found lifeless in her Delhi apartment. Days later, her husband was arrested & charged for murder.

In this week's @NewYorker, I tell the story of her death & examine the factors sustaining gender-based violence in India: https://t.co/fEgjQlwXzh

Holt’s restaurant, Roxanne, is a middle finger to a sexist, exploitative industry, and to the idea that fine dining must be serious to matter. Is her approach exactly what Philly needs right now?

I’ve got a piece in @rejectionlit today inspired by a recent dream and my fear of planes and also living on the coast of Maine which sometimes just feels like a dream in itself

[Rejection Letters @rejectionlit]

“None of us knew each other, but the host said we would want to, or come to want to. We grew excited over the state of the meeting. We wanted to move.”

"When I was younger and very painfully naive, I said to someone, People always mean what they say, and say what they mean, and they shook their head at me and said, No, they never, ever do."

[Arielle @ariellemcmanus]

I wrote about how hard it is to write about people in your life, but how, despite its tribulations, it must be done. Also about the right vs wrong way to do so. Thanks to @Shelbyhinte for the editorial guidance and to @WriteorDieMag for giving it a home. https://t.co/jWOEK2VoYE

[Claire Sasko @ClaireSasko]

@ariellemcmanus @Shelbyhinte @WriteorDieMag love this, arielle!
