the cornell daily sun is showing us exactly why independent journalism matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Outside my window the skies are falling and by the dim light of my cluttered desk I keep thinking of whose lives are forever changed in the aftermath of sexual assaults. The suffering is almost always asymmetrical. Unjust. Malapportioned. Borne overwhelmingly by a victim whose life is forever altered, unlike—often—that of their abuser(s).My mind keeps turning back to Cornell every couple hours. I assume most of us are familiar with the case of Jane Doe by now, but just in case, from the Cornell

Hi friends—Happy Saturday. A few weeks ago, I read Yu’s debut novel Kitten and found it an absolute delight, with a confident, precise prose that absorbed me over the course of a lazy August afternoon. Kitten tells the story of Katie, a young woman fresh out of college and trying to figure out what it means to be 22 and a [good] girlfriend/daughter/roommate/friend/person living in the world.

And as I’ve suffered chronically from Seriousness since childhood, well: I feel comfortable here.You can tell we’re entering fall because there are new photos of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, my perennial role models for Carrying as Many Things as Possible in One’s Hands.Like I said: this is not a season for fucking around.It’s probably why I’m later making polenta
