My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I am glad people are finally talking about this!! Infinite Jest is Good Actually!!!!
This is such a hack answer, but reading Infinite Jest really exploded my understanding of and empathy around the issues of depression and addiction! It legitimately made me a better person!
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

A quick announcement for November!
tl;dr — Emily is taking November mostly off to write a book! This means free Wednesday newsletters are on hold all month. But Monday Rundowns, the monthly mailbag, and essays by @lilywrites.bsky.social will still run for paid subscribers!

As a show of respect, and because it would piss off Trump, Mamdani should adopt a shelter cat to live in Gracie Mansion and name it Curtis
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.
