The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence

HEY FRIENDOS. In an effort to help out this AMAZING magazine in its next chapter, I'm giving away 5 annual subscriptions to folks from marginalized demographics who otherwise might not be able to afford/justify magazine subs rn. Just send me a DM! Please RT. 💜
Well, time for overdue blog posting & mag updates.
Today's a hard day for us. Disorganized (?) thread coming in.
Short take: The mag is alive, though paused. While we, the editorial team, step down & look for successors.

Juneteenth is to be commemorated more than celebrated.
I know media has coined “Happy Juneteenth”, but would we say “Happy End of the Holocaust” to Jewish people? Bc slavery was just that, a genocide torture camp that legally lasted for 246yrs, for context the holocaust was 4yrs

The toxic workplace trend we’re not talking about enough
"Diversity dishonesty is where a company or organisation works hard to look like they are invested in diversity, without making the internal changes to support their diverse employees." stylist.co.uk/life/careers/d…

So many of our current problems—disdain for the humanities in tech circles, the way streaming services have treated film history, general disregard for human life—stem from the fact that we’ve forgotten that some things have intrinsic value.
Naomi Day retweeted
the thing about artists and writers is that we’re all slightly unhinged, chaotic, fueled by coffee and revenge and ambition, and I don’t want my art to be made by machines, I want it to be made by messy people who have hated and loved and panicked like the rest of us.
Naomi Day retweeted
There’s a common thread linking the decline in humanities majors, Hollywood paying its writers pennies and the tech world wanting all writers and painters to be replaced by machines. We’ve entirely forgotten how essential the arts and literature are to a healthy society.
Excited to dig into this generative tool soon—have heard SO many good things about it!!
We believe in writing for the love of writing.
Our decks help writers spark, develop, and structure original ideas so they can hone their craft and spend more time in the white-hot human heart of the creative process: writing. (2/3)
