113 years on, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is still one of the most deadly workplace disasters in our country's history. We don't need to wait for disaster to make change. Unions make our workplaces better and safer- that’s why every worker deserves one.

I woke up to this little surprise a few weeks ago, and have had to keep it under wraps till now. So pleased to share the Thorton Wilder Translation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters with Charlotte Mandell and her six fingers @avecsesdoigts!

And 45 weeks later… at about 2 pages per day… Finnegans Wake is done. My most satisfying literary accomplishment? Probably, Did I love every second? No. But I am in love with it. I don’t know what it really is, or how a human could have produced this, but somehow (1/7)

"Not only literature but language itself thrives as it makes connections with other languages." We're heartbroken by the passing of Ottaway awardee Edith Grossman, and are spending the morning with this excerpt from her essential"Why Translation Matters." buff.ly/3L85kP6
My thanks to Alex Valente @alexv_fyi for linking to my translation of an excerpt from Michela Murgia's last book: Tre ciotole/Three Bowls lnkd.in/gwti9uNd (first published in Sentieri nelle Medical Humanities @docNSC) in his piece in The Italianist tinyurl.com/yh6jpej3.
via @nytimes Just went on line to discover my dear friend is gone. She taught me so much about translator’s rights. And when I hesitated before translating the #Betrothed , she advised, “Just try the first page, see how it feels.” And it felt right. nytimes.com/2023/09/04/boo…

Starving a million innocent people to death by halting and slowing US humanitarian assistance is massive, deliberate choice. Not only is it irrelevant to those objectives, it brings them further out of reach and endangers hostages. There is no defense for forced famine.
Genocide requires intent. And Israel has been patently clear with its objectives: To cripple Hamas terrorists & release the hostages. @AOC's accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation. Such statements merely perpetuate false claims & foster hate. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Oh, Germany. The irony of denying @mashagessen a prize for the exactly the sort of political courage Hannah Arendt stood for.
Masha Gessen soll den Hannah-Arendt-Preis bekommen. Ein offener Brief fordert, es auszusetzen. Gessen hatte die Lage in Gaza mit jüdischen Ghettos der NS-Zeit verglichen. trib.al/if05AXB
