    People often tell me I’m too nice. They see it as a weakness. Describing kindness as weakness frames relationships in terms of competition. While I don’t think nice people should be overly praised, I also don’t think we should be underestimated. 1/

    Since people are super worried about whether white Americans are even allowed to write about Mexico, here is a thread about white Americans and Brits who wrote amazing books about Mexico admired by Mexicans. So if you want to begin with white writers to learn about Mexico, read:

    Another new draft of a poem. It made me cry a little and now I think of telling me I was the saddest poet, and I said, 'No, you are the saddest poet.' And perhaps all poems are sad because we are going to die and we must, in the meantime, praise a little and weep.

    I would read a poetry collection in which all the poem titles were the names of threads in this amateur radiation detectorist chat forum.

    1st, they came for the Muslims, I didn’t speak b/c I was not Muslim, then they came for trans service people & I didn’t speak b/c I wasn’t trans, then they came for the undocumented & I didn’t speak b/c I wasn’t undocumented, then they came for me & there was no one left to speak

    1/ For tonight's impeachment behind-the-scenes, something different: I want to tell you my theory about why Democrats and Republicans are on different planets during this trial. I want to tell you why we could only get 2 R votes today against a rigged trial. This is important.

    A great question. I am starting strong with my humble Plan. I will persuade 20 folks to vote in 2020 and get them each to promise to persuade 20 others to vote. And so on. In Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the Plan could help a lot.

    there’s a sad boy in an Agatha Christie novel who tells his crush, “I didn’t want to fall in love with you. I wanted to sit quietly and write my book. Such a nice book, all about how miserable the world is,” and if that’s not the biggest mood.

    Writing about the internal lives of people who've experienced great pain because who they are or where they come from as an outsider is a task that I think most writers should not take on because they don't have the range and because they can't be trusted.

    Lol I’m sorry. I’m sort of willing to debate the issues with Trump supporters, but not if you don’t have the facts. This person clearly didn’t read the transcript when she asked me for proof Trump asked for a Biden investigation. It’s in the transcript 😂

    Rather than putting this in terms of intelligence, perhaps we can talk about economic and social capital. What opportunities have these people had? What is their “habitus?”

    Wally Lamb wrote She’s Come Undone in the 90s, also an Oprah Book Club selection, from the perspective of a woman, and it’s amazing. So, no. The reaction isn’t sexist. It’s about the writing. If you’re going to wade into sensitive, unfamiliar territory, do it well or not at all.

    It does nothing formally exciting. It’s not bad if you’re expecting a mass audience thriller you could just as easily buy at the supermarket. But it’s not a book that should be memorialized as the great immigrant novel of our time. And I’m white.

    It’s a terrible read if sold as lit fiction. Of course there’s outrage over the 7 figures. Wouldn’t you be, too, if someone in your profession received an undeserved promotion when colleagues you know deserve it much more? Nobody reading AD’s prose would compare it to Steinbeck.

    Lol wat? The route of listening to the evidence? if you’re going to make an argument against witnesses, please try to make a smart one that doesn’t seem to underestimate the intellect of your base and your opponents.

    Sole analysis of the current climate without context to how and why Israel behaves this way (the victim becoming victimizer) exemplifies anti-semitism. White colonists were never victimized. I’m not questioning the horror of Israel’s behavior, but it is very different.
