The world is making me sad. If it's not victim-blaming, it's racist riots in Moscow and a suicide bombing in my city. (The latter of course taken by the Swedish racists as some reason to be smug, conveniently forgetting in one case that he got arrested back in 1993 for showing up at a leftist rally with a hand grenade in his pocket.)
But I went skiing and I'm going to go talk to students about multilingual writing tomorrow and I get to be encouraging and tell them that what they're doing matters, that literature should reflect the fact that we're not all monolingual and monocultural and that the racists and the extremists are all wrong. So there's that. (I get paid to do this! It's a one-off, but still.) I'm nervous, but oh, well-timed.
And this, too. I have a million tabs open from it, you don't even know.
