Why I’m obsessed with tuberculosis. Support PIH’s work to get life-saving treatment to the people who need it most, despite drug companies price-gouging the world’s poorest communities.
I really, really, really try to center my writing and activism in love. Even the anger must be grounded in love, and in a belief that all people–even those I disagree with–deserve to love and be loved. This is what I’m called to do by my faith, but I also think it leads to better writing and more effective activism.
But if one more motherfucker calls me a groomer while trying to ban my books, I am going to lose my fucking shit i swear to god.
mimi-and-the-next-20th-century asked:
Thoughts on Goncharov and its excellent product placement of the awesome coffee?
(p.s. hope you're having a great day!!)
As a coffee company that donates its profit to charity, we do not often engage in paid product placement. But when you have a chance to be part of a Martin Scorsese film released 49 years ago, you don’t say no.
I will stop posting paragraph-long memes about how great the Awesome Coffee Club is when never. 12,000 coffee enthusiasts and counting.
cxvern asked:
My mom is a coffee addict and last time I visited her I told her about this very awesome coffee and showed her the website. She is now a subscriber and after having visited her again a day ago and trying it myself I have to say I was in shock that it was genuinely the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had.
Somebody came up to me today at the Tate Modern and said they liked the anthropocene reviewed and i said thanks and then we chatted for a while but i think they were uncomfortable because i was crying.
And i just want to belatedly let this person know that i was crying not because I was sad or worried but because after seeing the Hilma af Klint show, I was so moved by the desperate and doomed and beautiful attempts by artists to restore the broken world.
Tonight I was at a fundraiser thing and an old friend said, “How was your summer?”
And I said, “Good,” before thinking about it and then after a while I was like, “Except my brother got cancer; I became the reluctant CEO of two companies; my books were banned from hundreds of schools around the country; I ruptured a disc in my back; and I couldn’t get any writing done.”
But the thing is it was kind of a good summer. Got to see a lot of Hank and my kids. Made some good memories. Broke bread with people I love.
Anyway, how was your summer? Good, I hope. Or at least multitudinous.
Here is my reply to the removal of my books, including The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, from the Young Adult library shelves from the suburbs just north of my hometown of Indianapolis.
I just remembered for some reason that in Turtles All the Way Down, Davis has a tumblr.
Anyway, they asked me to write all his tumblr posts for the movie, so I did, and it was a great time.
I hope that movie comes out at some point, because Hannah Marks made a hell of a good film.
