Just heard the news about Graham Greene, and I don't know what I can add to the tributes beyond this: The man was a legend for a reason. He inhabited his early roles with charisma and clarity, then let his own charm seep through his performances once he knew audiences trusted him.

lol I wrote a book about community like the thing! (in the vein of On Bullshit etc) Though I gotta admit on my list of things I regret not tackling in the year-ish I had to write it, "That show named after the thing I'm writing about" is probably in the top 5

I also think our (often valid) policing of language used by reporters can amount to infantilizing paternalism. βI read this headline, I understood it, I learned a new fact from it, but itβs BAD because less-savvy people could have their tiny minds warped by the phrasing and I must protect them.β

Fav example: Raymond Carver got high on writing short fiction because it was more manageable for his life as he worked, went to school, raised a family. He's credited with reviving the genre in the country! You have no idea what's going to happen to you or your work. You might as well make it exist.
Casey Plett (@caseyplett.com)
Adding one more thing to thisβI know I know, and sry OPβit's that writing a book, as time-consuming and difficult as it is, is only one thing to do with the waking hours of a life. I know a few people who are impressively 24/7 writers (kudos! idgi!) but most writers don't and can't.
Cat Fitzpatrick (@catfitzpatrick.net) reposted
It is easy to feel this way but I truly think, for trans writers at least, writing books now is urgent. Write good books about your friends, get them printed, get them widely distributed, get them in the world. There has never before been an opportunity like the one we currently possess to do this.

When it comes to Little Fish, I can never shake seeing the suffering and violence the characters experience ascribed near-universally to transphobia. And yeah, it's not like transphobia isn't a factor. But also, the things that happen to Wendy and her friends are...things that just happen to women.
