“We used to believe that trees competed with each other,” explains a football coach on the US hit television show Ted Lasso. But thanks to “Suzanne Simard’s fieldwork”, he continues, “we now realise that the forest is a socialist community”. theguardian.com/environment/20…
This, from an NBC News correspondent, is correct. If Columbia made it easier for press to get on campus, this would be reported more often.

I was denied entry at both gates after showing press credentials, begged with guards about the merits of 1st amendment , called a bunch of numbers which nobody answered, had my boss do the same, but ended up having to find my own way in, hopefully that won't happen again!

So glad to publish this excerpt from Gillian Linden's outstanding Negative Space, out next week from @wwnorton. A sly, funny, hyper-observant novel about teaching , parenting, and navigating hard choices at every scale. A truly great book. nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

Eclipse in the 1091 Kyivan Rus’ chronicle: not long after, a serpent fell from the sky, the earth groaned, and a magician appeared. In Novgorod’s chronicles, a total eclipse is the *only* event recorded for the year 1124. Get your diaries ready! Watch out for heavenly serpents!
I'm so excited to see this beautiful novel out in the world!

This is a great, great novel.
While teaching a class on revolutionary memoirs, came across Auden's poem in memory of Ernst Toller, playwright & six-day president of the Bavarian Soviet Republic. The Cold Comfort Farm reference is odd until you read Toller's absurdist memoir (which reminds me of Hrabal).
Took a break from reading Emma Goldman's autobiography to read a NYer article about LA shoplifters. Weird feeling!

On the one hand, it's a marvel that AI can do tasks like "draw a face" or "write a paragraph" but humans can already do these things, without servers that require massive energy use and depletion of natural resources newrepublic.com/article/179538…

So pleased that @SophiePinkham won British journalism award for travel writing. Huge congrats to her. Delighted to be publishing her forthcoming book - also about forests: trees, folklore, places of refuge. It is going to be great.

"The 'wood-wide-web' narrative gives us the trees for our times: anti-capitalist, feminist and extremely online." Today's @gdnlongread by Daniel Immerwahr theguardian.com/environment/20…
This site is a hellscape. But am proud of the students out protesting over the last several days at Yale. From what I've seen, peaceful, thoughtful, and a serious attempt to do something to stop the horrors in Gaza.
Many prominent journalists should be asking themselves how their sneering, sardonic, slanderous coverage of young people protesting an open campaign of ethnic cleansing will hold up over time. As a historian, I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
Seeing unconfirmed reports that Shai Davidai forgot to transfer to the uptown 1 at 96th St. and is currently waiting for a downtown train at 110th and Lenox, crying and afraid
I spoke to @washingtonpost about my decision to join @GazaFFlotilla
A flotilla of ships bound for the Gaza Strip is preparing to sail from Turkey in the coming days, organizers say, on a mission aimed at breaching Israel’s naval blockade and highlighting the lack of aid reaching Palestinians in the besieged enclave. wapo.st/44ct2SW
Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…
This, from an NBC News correspondent, is correct. If Columbia made it easier for press to get on campus, this would be reported more often.

NEW: The tension playing out on campuses across the country has provided an opportunity for Democrats to finally leverage a free speech debate Republicans have dominated for years. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
My campus, my neighborhood- Columbia under police control today - sacrificing everything a university stands for to satisfy a bunch of right wing politicians.
It is worth stating plainly what happened at Columbia: the raid was l the product of collusion between a university administration and rightwing politicians to suppress politically disfavored speech. I wrote about the mass arrests at Columbia: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The idea of seeing my students, amazing people i see & think with & work with every week, being grabbed, ziptied, dragged away by cops - makes my blood boil to even imagine... Shafik & Columbia admin must not give a shit about their students, or that sight would be intolerable.
This is such an important thing to openly discuss - bc we are all ultimately impoverished by a system where only affluent folks can afford to write books (or do journalism, make documentaries, or make art, etc).
The amount of broke I am right now in the midst of professional accolades is truly mind boggling. It’s hard to talk about without sounding like a dick but it’s real and it’s getting me down.
in honor of the protesting students at Columbia who have been manhandled by the NYPD, here is a Sharon Olds poem I love about being pregnant while protesting at Columbia and being manhandled by the NYPD in 1968 poetrynook.com/poem/may-1968
You have to fuck up on a truly historic level to get the NYPD to say “even we think these were meaningless arrests.” They love meaningless arrests!
The authoritarian turn in elite universities — via administrative imperium, loss of faculty governance, and expansion of contingent labor has been long in the making, obscured by false, reactionary promotion/panic around DEI, which never touched these aforementioned tendencies.
"Shafik commitment to qualified form of freedom of speech is insincere. Nonviolent protest employing rhetoric that “historically meant different things to different people” is not making anyone unsafe—feeling uncomfortable is not the same as being unsafe." Bravo @ColumbiaSpec
Fucking blistering editorial by the Columbia University student newspaper. columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2024/0…
