#like the gesture is good I endorse her quitting but god. what a corny and arrogant and ill-considered line

sorry I know this is old news by now but god that fucking line from the nyt poetry editor about her quitting her job is still under my skin like “if my resignation leaves a hole in the news the size of poetry, then that is the true shape of the present” what a self-centred and ridiculous thing to say. there is a deep wealth of Palestinian art and poetry about their culture and their struggle, including poetry being written right now currently today. there is no vacuum of art being left because an editor quit their job from the single most evil newspaper to ever exist in history, and certainly not about Palestine
