thinking about twitter

@S_DeGooyer I'm an editor at FSG, working with quite a few academics writing for general readers. Depending on the timing and content, I would be happy to participate.

This is a huge ask and I anticipate silence. But...are there any editors out there (academic/non-academic) who might want to Zoom into my Public Humanities graduate seminar for 30 minutes tops? I am trying to scrounge up a modest fee, but public university y'all...

@erinrpineda Worldmaking After Empire by Adom Getachew.

@tiphanieyanique Wide Sargasso Sea, and House of Leaves.

@alyssaharad Both Love's Work and Mourning Becomes the Law by Gillian Rose.

Best books about grief and grieving? Not self-help/pop psych stuff. Classics. Poets. Essays. Would especially love anything that lets history and politics in or considers grief over the loss of ideals/ideas as well as individuals.

I've come to understand that the best one can hope for as a human is to have a relationship with that emptiness where God would be if God were available, but God isn't.

...I am talking about evil. It blooms. It eats. It grins.

@23cschwartz And also Rose's book Love's Work.
