White People on Vacation paints a sun-drenched portrait of the young and upwardly mobile as they attempt to attain the good life. It's a beach read for socialists, a swan song for human aspiration in the age of climate apocalypse. Available from Malarkey Books.

ok, here's one you cowards: Kurt Vonnegut is the most creative and innovative postmodern writer of his cohort and people who don't like him are just mad that 15 year olds dig his novels

I began this little retreat by writing alone in a room by myself to concentrate. But real soon I moved downstairs to the big living/dining space, and now me and Shelly have been writing together for two days just shouting ideas at each other across the room

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

just amazing to think about what the Biden administration could have accomplished if it hadn't elevated the interests of wealthy centrist Democratic donors over the lives of Palestinians
