"'Why aren't you sleeping, habibi?' I asked him. He said: 'There's a butterfly flying round inside my head and stopping me from going to sleep.'" A beautiful piece by past @CullmanNYPL Fellow @Imanmersal in the latest @nplusonemag: nplusonemag.com/issue-50/essay…

My survey of a bunch of new novels about TV (and “literary fiction”’s growing financial reliance on adaptation) is unpaywalled. With appearances by Justin Taylor, Danzy Senna, Taffy B-A, some grouchy anti–boob tube quotes from Vineland, others. In newest issue of @nplusonemag!
“These are texts in which the publishing and entertainment industries jockey for cultural dominance, in which TV is examined from within a form it’s assaulted.” Now out from behind the paywall: n+1 coeditor @lisa_borst on recent fiction about television. nplusonemag.com/issue-50/revie…
This girl's injuries are typical of patients from GHF "aid" sites. Many/most of my trauma patients have X-Rays/CTs that look like this with varying amounts of damage. Here are a random smattering from my camera roll taken over about a week at Nasser. Some lived. Some died.

“At each canvassing shift, I would ask volunteers to share one thing that excited them about the campaign. I want a rent freeze. I’m excited for free childcare. I want cheap groceries. I support Palestine. I just want a normal person as mayor.” nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

“Girl on Girl,” by the critic Sophie Gilbert, is the latest and most ambitious of recent feminist reappraisals of the 2000s. In it, she considers the impact pop culture—and porn—had on millennial women. nyer.cm/GIvp91b
I reviewed Sophie Gilbert’s book “Girl on Girl,” on the recreational misogyny of pop culture in the 2000s, for this week’s @NewYorker newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

“In my 20s and 30s, as my Korean got good, then really good, I met my mother anew. We could talk at length, in her best and native tongue, about art, politics, random stuff I now knew the nouns and verbs for. Hearing aid, anarchist, rezoning, surrealism.” theguardian.com/news/2025/jun/…

We need an immediate, total shutoff of US assistance to Israel. Anyone who can't openly demand this is not really "critical of Netanyahu," "troubled by the situation," etc.
If an 11-year-old Israeli influencer—a girl who delivered food and toys to displaced children—had been killed, the Empire State Building would be lit up for her. Her face would be on the homepage of every US news outlet. Her name would be on the tongue of every US politician.
11-year-old Yaqeen Hammad was one of Gaza’s youngest influencers. She spent her days in Gaza making desserts, delivering food and bringing joy to other children who had lost everything. On May 23, she was killed in an airstrike after Israel shelled her neighborhood in Deir…
