    it is rare that I agree with an interpretation of the romantasy boom -- this one is great

    “The heroines of romantasy are flicked, nuzzled, ridden, throttled, bitten, pulled, plowed, hit, filled, soaked, and — here’s a Maas favorite — shattered.” Daniel Yadin examines the genre taking over American publishing in a new piece from Issue Sixteen. thedriftmag.com/escape-artists/

    heading into my 3rd year as grad advisor, sharing solid reasons to go to grad school: - escape family - intellectual life - labour activism training - better than looking for a "real job" - dating pool - performative reading

    As a reviewer, it is obvious when something is written by a brand new grad student and very obvious when it is their first paper submission ever. Really heavy on the jargon and misuse of GRE words. The writing is floral without fragrance. (1/2)

    it's part of a broader emergence of writing not as a craft-based prestige career but as a genre-based form of self-expression & community belonging; this is inseparable from the cheapening of "content" and publishing work

    ~me and my female friends think the male loneliness crisis is pretty funny~ is fine group-chat fodder, but it's a weird thing to keep in a lefty essay that's ostensibly trying to figure out how and why men are fleeing the left

    Karl Marx's Capital draws specific details from my own life. I’ve spent the years since it was published wondering: How did he know?

    great piece from Liz Bruenig on pronatalism. I really agree with this part in particular — there's genuine discomfort on the left with saying "having kids is a good/commendable thing" — partly due to fear that it will stigmatize (or worse) those who don't want to or can't (1/2)

    three yrs ago I said something to a colleague that was meant to be teasing but came out slightly mean and so, since then I have attended every event he's organized or been involved in and I will continue to do so until one of us retires

    I mean, the highlighted claim is fundamentally true though, there’s nothing wacky about it at all.

    It matters, I think, how you explain literature's decline. Bad critics & profs? Wrong objects of analysis? Hot new media? Or is it: poverty, debt, tuition, worklessness, and the anxiety of being shouldered with the whole burden of trying to "make a living"?

    so if I've got this right some people are unhappy with Adam Tooze's Latourian translation of the Odyssey
