A while back I wrote a series of posts about the 1998-9 Kosovo conflict. If you’re interested, here they are: Prelude to War, The Serbian Ascendancy, Things Fall Apart, And So To War. This post continues that story up to the unsuccessful Rambouillet peace conference of February-March 1999. So by early 1999, the Serbian province […]

Hey, thanks so much for coming tonight. I’ve just checked with everyone else at the party, and we’re all in agreement that you behaved really normally and didn’t say anything weird or worrying at all.

Even though your face looks alarmingly like a mole’s in that picture I just tagged you in, at no point in the course of the evening did I look over at you and think, “Wow, she looks like a mole.”

It’s been on my mind and I need to apologize: I’m sorry I didn’t laugh at that joke you made about how your emails should be called “me-mails.” It’s because I was achingly jealous. And just to clarify, re: any other jokes I didn’t laugh at—I didn’t hear them. You were right to repeat the jokes twice.

Let’s hop on a video call this week so you can ask me any questions you have about my offhand comments. I can carve out forty-five minutes to explain what I really meant when I said that thing about your inner child.

Places Charles Johnson’s drawings appeared when he was a young cartoonist:
- A catalog for a magic company
- Mimeographed church bulletins

For more than forty years, Charles Johnson has been a fixture on the literary scene in Seattle, along with two other African American writers, both transplants: the late Octavia Butler and the late August Wilson. Like they did, Johnson has produced work his own way, avoiding the expectations that many would impose on a Black writer. This journey of distinction for Johnson began in 1982, with his second published novel, Oxherding Tale, a quasi–slave narrative and rogue’s narrative steeped in both Eastern and Western philosophy. Johnson has since published twenty books, and has received numerous accolades for his work, including the National Book Award for Fiction for his novel Middle Passage, a MacArthur Fellowship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
If you don’t put your best foot forward at every single opportunity, then you are wasting the precious few steps you have on this earth. You can’t half-ass things. Everything you do, do it with your best foot and your entire ass. Maybe also use your arms. Both of them, if needed, including the hands. And any other parts that are necessary to complete the task, whatever that task may be.
Nobody wants to hear your excuses. You know what they say about excuses, right? They’re like assholes. A hole of an ass is even worse than half of an ass. Because a hole is nothing, and that’s exactly what your excuses are worth. Everywhere I go, I look around and I see someone with an excuse. To me, they look like nothing. “How do you see them, if they look like nothing?” you may ask. “You know what I mean, don’t be obtuse” is my response to those asking that question.

It was, I think, the Spam that broke me. The infamous blend of processed pork and ham has always been, with the best will in the world, poverty food. Cheap and long-lasting, the foodstuff whose name apocryphally stands for ‘spare parts and animal meat’ became iconic for helping see Britain through the deprivations of the […]
Oppositionen har riktat hård kritik mot regeringens budget, mycket av den befogad. Att två tredjedelar av reformutrymmet på 80 miljarder går till skattesänkningar i stället för välfärd, klimat, infrastruktur eller arbetsmarknad går verkligen att ifrågasätta. Bara två procent av svenska folket tycker att det är en lämplig användning av pengarna … Det finns all anledning […]
