I support @newyorkerunion’s fight for a fair contract. As a reader, I demand that @NewYorker and @CondeNast respect their workers and bargain in good faith.
I checked out #publishingpaidme for 30 seconds before someone turned around and said “Get your poor poet ass out of here, we’re talking about money” so I walked out with my little 5.5k for my 3 whole ass books.
for the sake of transparency: i received $7000 (north american) for mostly dead things, my debut novel & i’ve signed for a significant jump to six figures for my next 2 books (split between another novel & a short fiction collection) - i am a white cis lesbian #PublishingPaidMe
My career goes back to 1997. YMMV

Target in Honolulu is full of crisis tourists from the mainland talking about how they came to Hawaii to isolate from coronavirus.
Meanwhile Hawaii is no. 1 in the U.S. for most multigenerational families living under the one roof. We are so vulnerable to rapid spread.
Rage.
COVID-19 is hitting the 300,000 UNITE HERE members especially hard. As business pauses in hotels & convention centers, sports & event venues, casinos, & restaurants, working families face layoffs & uncertainty.

Ok I’m just going to say what every Intro to Ethnic Studies prof would say, which is: your assignment was never to overlay “diversity” on top of the current fuckery of the system—it was to think about how race affects the way POWER is shaped. Clearly no such thinking happened. C-
This is not a review on "American Dirt," but it is the last thing I hope to say about it until the movie comes out starring Gina Rodriguez or someone unearths the author's selfies at the border or something like that. Thank you for reading. https://t.co/quAdwJ21nc
