Delaying direct payments to vulnerable families just to print his name on the check is another shameful example of President Trump’s catastrophic failure to treat this crisis with the urgency it demands.

"Read @AnitaFelicelli in conversation with @unefemmejames, who calls CHIMERICA a "legal thriller that pits creation against creator, art against law, existence against personhood, alien against national." At @ravishlydotcom.

Melania’s past as a sex worker does not even make the Top 10 of reasons she is unfit to be FLOTUS. She’s married to a fascist who puts children in cages. That’s shameful.

Hi❗️If you do nothing but sit in front of Netflix and eat Cheez Its all day, you are still doing more to fight this pandemic than elected officials who ignored and minimized it for months and now refuse to freeze rent and mortgages while bailing out massive corporations❗️

There’s no better time to read “Remote” than during isolation! Get a peek behind DJ Lee’s trek through the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the expansive women who found home within it: https://t.co/3XSBieooy8

All respect to the woman who just leaned out of the window of her apartment and screamed, “I’M BORED”

Last night, this little nugget & I watched Moana in bed. About 1/2 way thru, he sat up & said, “I love this so much, Mama. I happy,” & hugged me.

He reminded me to cherish these happy moments when we can. 💙

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL 🦠

[Erin Khar @ErinKhar]

The start of this week is somehow harder than the last. Maybe it's because we are staring down at least one more month of this. Maybe it's because I'm living in a ghost town at the epicenter of people dying.

Maybe we need this Monday Reading Thread more than ever...

[Erin Khar @ErinKhar]

If you’re waiting to hear back from me about anything @ravishlydotcom related, please know that we are extremely behind as we are working from home with small children.

It’s taking me about two weeks to respond to pitches and non-urgent emails. Please be patient.

After COVID-19 is over, I better NEVER hear anyone trash "low end" workers again. Those people at the grocery store, the Dollar General workers, those fast food workers, the Walmart employees, those people you didn't even think deserved to have a wage to survive on?

What’s everyone reading during quarantine? We’re diving into @daniel_m_lavery’s Something That May Shock and Discredit You, @ErinKhar’s Strung Out, and lots more! What other stories should we be diving into?

If we may recommend a few timely titles:

📖 Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower duopoly is one of the most powerful works of apocalyptic fiction ever written.

📖 Susan Sontag’s Regarding The Pain of Others lends a critical eye to writing about suffering
