It's because there's no funding or support being given to young/emerging writers directors, musicians, poets, artists etc. How can we make new stuff if there's literally no way for us to develop it?

in christian europe, the second sons and daughters of the minor aristocracy would be sent to monasteries in exchange for subsidizing their operations. in our secular times, literary magazines assume this same role

✨ “Enchanting, witty, and melodic… This book carried me away. Let it carry you too.” — Doireann Ní Ghríofa Poet Erin Fornoff returns to #ILFDublin with a powerful live launch of her new epic poem We Are An Archipelago — the story of ninety-nine-year-old Bill, who returns to the island of his birth, and Deena, a young pregnant woman fleeing a difficult past. As a hurricane approaches, their unlikely friendship becomes a lifeline. This special performance features a full band, including renowned pianist Patrick O’Laoghaire (I Have A Tribe), double bassist Caimin Gilmore (Hozier, Lisa Hannigan, Ye Vagabonds) and legendary drummer Dominic Mullan. Blending story, sound and lyricism, this promises to be an evening of emotional depth and musical brilliance. Presented with support from Poetry Ireland. @jarsofshine @IHaveATribe

How to know you’re in a cult in two minutes. This is absolutely phenomenal. Put into perfect context.

Incredibly touched to have this lovely conversation in print between myself and @seancarlson and the beautiful and talented @gustav_parker. Thanks to Sean for hosting and making sure it found a home and @martindyar and @WritersWeek for having us
I have read @commonmag since its very first issue, so it's especially sweet to see my conversation with @jarsofshine and @gustav_parker in these pages. Such fun discussing their poetry and experiences in the U.S. and Ireland: thecommononline.org/home-and…

Update on the DNC Chair race. Over the last 24 hours, we’ve added 11 supporters—which brings my count to 131. Victory requires 225 out of 448. Over 150 undecided members. No candidate is close to a majority. The race is wide open. 🧵

This race for DNC Chair is wide open. We’ve seen a big surge in support since last week’s labor endorsement, which puts us within striking distance of the top spot. 11 days left to win this. Join us. benwikler.com

Rastafarian guy in the sauna this morning was telling me I should be making my own honey. “Anyone can buy a bee”, he said. I nodded, taking it to heart. There was a 10 second pause, after which a Polish bodybuilder in the corner interjected: “you need more bee”

There isn't a single war in the history that has 96% of all casualties on the one side
David, I know it’s inconvenient, blur there is no genocide. There is war, which is ugly, brutal and awful. But no genocide
