Newly released letters reveal JD Salinger’s wariness over ‘second-rate reviewers’ Exclusive: Author asked to remove reference to his ‘Jewish-Irishness’ from book jacket of The Catcher in the Rye He was a reclusive author, who revealed little about himself or the inspiration for his 1951 masterpiece The Catcher in the Rye. Now letters that JD Salinger wrote to his editor have come to light for the first time, offering significant insights, literary and personal. A previously unpublished correspondence reveals the author’s intervention over how he and his novel would be presented and his unease about his writing being viewed through an ethnic or religious lens.

Turns out many people have been using “Unc” all wrong. “You’d never know the meaning of 'Unc' or its origins in black culture if you looked to mainstream media, and sometimes even independent media,” Gita Jackson writes for @Aftermath@flipboard.com. So, here’s what it means and how slang terms that originate from African American Vernacular English — “chopped,” “clocked it,” “the tea,” “no cap,” and “it’s giving” — sometimes get miscategorized. Plus, a pull quote that might stay with you for a while: “Non-black people want to take everything from us except the weight of our history.” https://flip.it/4ZmjNe #Culture #BlackCulture #InternetCulture #AfricanAmerican #BlackMastodon

Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor.

Tha an talamh a' dùsgadh — the earth is waking — and along the Appalachian ridges the dogwoods have opened into their four-petaled cross, the red clay after last night's rain smelling of iron and something older.

A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds also https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

What Ty Cobb said: "This is somebody who just is lost. He gets into these screeds at odd times. And one of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's is the sleep-wake reversal." The deterioration gets reported as spectacle while the governing gets reported as normal politics. It is not. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

March closed at 20.97°C average sea surface temperature — second-highest ever recorded for the month, behind only last year's El Niño peak. The European Copernicus Climate Change Service published the number Friday. It reads like a thermometer. It is actually a verdict. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

At least six openly queer people made the 2026 Time 100 — Minter, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, and Olympic hockey forward Hilary Knight among them. The spray-tanned fascist has spent his second term trying to cancel us by decree, it just didn't happen. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\

"The moment of change is the only poem." — Adrienne Rich Rich wrote that line inside a war she could not stop, in a language just beginning to include her. The change she meant was not triumphant. It was the moment the mind refuses to accept what the world has just told it. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-deterioration-is-the-point #trans #queer #lgbtqia #news #liberal #progressive #nonfiction #history #culture #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtqia /|\
