Earlier this week, \u003cem>Code Switch\u003c/em> was number one on Apple Podcasts—which, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GeeDee215/status/1268000245214035974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as host Gene Demby said\u003c/a>, is “dope,” but unfortunately occurred under “soul-crushing circumstances.” And \u003cem>The Help \u003c/em>is trending on Netflix (ahem, a film that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/08/18/139755308/the-help-draws-audiences-and-ire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drew immediate ire\u003c/a> upon release).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re in the middle of one of those awfully predictable news cycles—a video of police killing a black person goes viral, protests ensue and broader America suddenly realizes \u003cem>we need to talk about race. \u003c/em>Of course, while \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/this-week-has-happened-before.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this week has happened before,\u003c/a> it’s also happening on a much larger scale than ever before, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2020/06/03/map-protests-wake-george-floyds-death/5310149002/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">demonstrations in all 50 states.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help people be better allies, lists of antiracist books, films and podcasts are being published in droves. There’s never a bad time to learn, but such a list can become erroneously prescriptive, a balm to centuries-old lacerations that cut deeper than the individual reader. \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/2020/06/anti-racist-reading-lists-what-are-they-for.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">As Lauren Michele Jackson wrote for \u003cem>Vulture,\u003c/em> \u003c/a>“The word [anti-racism] and its nominal equivalent, “anti-racist,” suggests something of a vanity project, where the goal is no longer to learn more about race, power, and capital, but to spring closer to the enlightened order of the antiracist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, with that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of books, films and podcasts about systemic racism, acknowledging that they are just books, films and podcasts. You’ll find research on how racism permeates everything from the criminal justice system to health care.

But Hinton argues the carceral state was erected “by a consensus of liberals and conservatives who privileged punitive responses to urban problems as a reaction to the civil rights movement.” The 1965 Law Enforcement Assistance Act, part of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society plan, led to today’s police militarization.

Earlier this week, \u003cem>Code Switch\u003c/em> was number one on Apple Podcasts—which, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GeeDee215/status/1268000245214035974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as host Gene Demby said\u003c/a>, is “dope,” but unfortunately occurred under “soul-crushing circumstances.” And \u003cem>The Help \u003c/em>is trending on Netflix (ahem, a film that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/08/18/139755308/the-help-draws-audiences-and-ire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drew immediate ire\u003c/a> upon release).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re in the middle of one of those awfully predictable news cycles—a video of police killing a black person goes viral, protests ensue and broader America suddenly realizes \u003cem>we need to talk about race. \u003c/em>Of course, while \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/this-week-has-happened-before.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this week has happened before,\u003c/a> it’s also happening on a much larger scale than ever before, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2020/06/03/map-protests-wake-george-floyds-death/5310149002/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">demonstrations in all 50 states.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help people be better allies, lists of antiracist books, films and podcasts are being published in droves. There’s never a bad time to learn, but such a list can become erroneously prescriptive, a balm to centuries-old lacerations that cut deeper than the individual reader. \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/2020/06/anti-racist-reading-lists-what-are-they-for.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">As Lauren Michele Jackson wrote for \u003cem>Vulture,\u003c/em> \u003c/a>“The word [anti-racism] and its nominal equivalent, “anti-racist,” suggests something of a vanity project, where the goal is no longer to learn more about race, power, and capital, but to spring closer to the enlightened order of the antiracist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, with that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of books, films and podcasts about systemic racism, acknowledging that they are just books, films and podcasts.

She’s trying to meet a book deadline, and she’s worried she can’t, and in the great tradition of writers doing everything else when they can’t write, she steps out for a drink. When she next comes to, she realizes she was drugged and assaulted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before that, she has friends, she has family, she’s struggling with her path from social media breakout star to author, and she’s navigating a long-distance relationship with a man she met in Italy, where she meant to be writing but then didn’t, quite. Played by creator Michaela Coel, also the writer and star of \u003cem>Chewing Gum\u003c/em>, she’s not a character constructed to be traumatized; she’s a character, full stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>I May Destroy You \u003c/em>is about sexual violence and consent; those themes come up over and over in different stories that change characters in different ways. But it avoids the flatness that would come from drama as a didactic explainer. Arabella’s is a story that widens out to show how being assaulted affects her sex life, her relationships with her friends and her family, her career, her aspirations, and her health. It documents the police investigation without centering it. This is not a whodunit, even though Arabella’s drive to understand what happened propels some of the plot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coel doesn’t just star in the series. She wrote these 12 episodes herself. She co-directed much of the season with Sam Miller, who’s worked on \u003cem>Luther \u003c/em>and on episodes of everything from \u003cem>Luke Cage \u003c/em>to \u003cem>American Crime\u003c/em>. She’s a producer and the star. Her face is the series’ indelible image. And she based the story of Arabella’s assault on \u003ca href=\"https://www.essence.com/entertainment/michaela-coel-hbo-i-may-destroy-you/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a night in her own life\u003c/a>.

The wardrobe and hair and knockabout style of filming conversations among friends are unobtrusive and casual in many stretches of the story, which build to those moments when they are emphatically not. This is not a twitchy, self-conscious style that draws attention to itself for no reason; it’s a reservation of visual emphasis for the places where it belongs. Arabella changes her hair, or she puts on a Halloween costume, and the air around her changes, too. It doesn’t look or sound like any other story. With that said, it also makes excellent use some of the best techniques that have emerged in recent television, including episodes that pause the narrative to pay attention to a different point of view, or a different point in time, to enrich the main story thread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early going, \u003cem>I May Destroy You \u003c/em>can feel disorienting, because its upending of conventional crime and trauma story structures is so thorough. If you went in not knowing it was a story about sexual assault, you could watch most of the first episode as a day-in-the-life pilot for a quirky half-hour about a wandering millennial, about the publishing industry, about dating apps, and about social media in general. But this is the wisdom of the writing, at its core: This is how you demonstrate that Arabella existed in full before she was assaulted. She \u003cem>already \u003c/em>had a story unfolding, and a life that a series about her could have followed. She wasn’t simply suspended in air, waiting for something narratively important to happen to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just as she had a story already, Arabella had a personality already, and Coel resolutely draws her as a woman who is both traumatized and flawed. The rounded character she would have been in that quirky half-hour about the millennial and the book contract, she still is. She can be insensitive and mean, and she can be just as unaware of other people’s experiences and needs as they are of hers. Arabella and her friends—best friend Terry (Weruche Opia), friends Kwame (Paapa Essiedu) and Simon (Ami Ameen), dreamy Italian boyfriend Biagio (Marouane Zotti)—exist in a web of connections in which they hurt and are hurt, sometimes right and sometimes not. They both buoy and disappoint each other, making \u003cem>I May Destroy You \u003c/em>an outstanding examination of friendship as much as anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sometimes helps, when encouraging people to try out an unconventionally structured show, to provide a hint that the overall shape of the story will satisfy. Let’s say only this: After 12 episodes, there is a gut-punch brilliance to how Arabella’s story is brought to a close that it would be wildly unfair to spoil. But know that Coel concludes in a way that’s both formally clever—that feels too slight, but it’s true—and dramatically satisfying.

In 2016, New Documents published \u003ca href=\"https://new-documents.org/books/jon-rafman-nine-eyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a collection\u003c/a> of the site’s images, contextualizing them within the history of photography and surveillance. These days, Rafman’s site undergoes only sporadic updates, the most recent of which started in March and stopped a couple of weeks ago.

Though, as a Muslim, she found these habits a tad familiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You call it coronavirus, I call it sharia law!” said Hindy, referring to the set of principles Muslims abide by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Canadian Muslim comedian was one of 40 performers taking part in The Socially Distant Eid Comedy Night, an event hosted by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.concordiaforum.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Concordia Forum\u003c/a>, a networking organization for Muslim influencers and changemakers. The goal was to give Muslims around the world some comic relief as they do the unprecedented: celebrate Ramadan and Eid in isolation at home, with fewer family members and friends than usual because of the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A holy month typically observed by attending daily prayers at the mosque and dinner parties to break the dawn-to-dusk fast, Ramadan was indeed a different sight to behold this year, as was Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stand-up comedians come from different occupations and backgrounds, including award-winning performers based in South Africa and the U.K. Their show was livestreamed on May 24, Eid day for many countries.

I’ve never self-identified as a gamer in my adult life, and I certainly didn’t think the antidote to screen fatigue could be more screen time. Plus, video games always struck me as chaotic, and I was maxed out on chaos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As kids, my older brother and I would settle into an afternoon of \u003cem>Tekken 4\u003c/em> or \u003cem>James Bond 007: Nightfire\u003c/em>, battling enemies and each other on an otherwise calm day. It was thrilling, and I’d ride that anxious buzz of trying to survive until it was time for something else. It’s strange how much you can learn about yourself as a child when your avatar is a buxom woman named Pussy Galore. I discovered I only really had fun when my brother and I were on the same team, and friendly fire was turned off. I noticed that random civilian casualties made me feel sick. I questioned why lady avatars were scantily clad while dude avatars often weren’t. And I loved getting to sight-see. [aside postid='arts_13879036']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sightseeing is why \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> has had such an impact. Right now, my life’s parameters are my bedroom, my ambitions are the size of 80 bedrooms, and my \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> realm is the size of a zillion bedrooms. The game offers endless virtual space to roam when real-life space feels like a rare commodity. And relocation is the literal click of a button. When I tire of the mines, I try the mountains. When I’m done with the mountains, I go to the jungle. And when I’ve had it with the jungle, I hop in a boat that I made with oak from the jungle and find a new island to inhabit. Then I can do it all over again. The game’s natural world is artificial, but there’s something kind of enchanting about that block-shaped moon overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offline, my weeks have been punctuated with worry about the strain I’m putting on my household’s resources. But \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> promises a retreat where raw materials are always plentiful and useful—water for putting out lava, iron for swords and pickaxes, cobwebs for string, animals for food. Neither climate change nor a pandemic can threaten this virtual cornucopia. Lately, I’ve discovered an affinity for running through open fields and punching grass. The satisfying crunching sound leads me to five-minute punching sprees from time to time, but this isn’t nihilism. It’s practical. Every few squares of freshly punched grass unearth little seeds that keep my chickens procreating and my farm plentiful. It’s a blissed-out vision of sustainability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s be clear, though: \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> is not a utopia. Days whiz by, and when that 32-bit block of sun starts to set, monsters are coming for me. In the mines, too. Exploding creepers, arrow-toting skeletons, mumbling zombies, nimble spiders, and mystifying enderman you can’t make eye contact with. I’m not very good at fighting these yet, but at least I can count on the game’s sonic and visual cues to let me know danger is afoot. Plus, I’m armed for battle. There are rules and boundaries within which I can almost guarantee safety. And if all else fails, I’ll come back to life in the same place I started: My bed, in my simple underground house, out of harm’s way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t say the same of the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, I’m clinging to structure. Time is passing quickly, and if I’m honest, I don’t always yearn to make days feel longer or fuller. But when I close my bedroom door and open up a virtual world, I can feel the therapy of making things up as I go. Of itching for daylight so I can return to feeding chickens and building a castle on a mountain. Of experiencing something—making actual memories—when togetherness feels out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kathryn Fink is a producer for\u003c/em> 1A. \u003cem>She’s a native of Virginia, a new gamer, and an unapologetic lit nerd.

It was thrilling, and I’d ride that anxious buzz of trying to survive until it was time for something else. It’s strange how much you can learn about yourself as a child when your avatar is a buxom woman named Pussy Galore. I discovered I only really had fun when my brother and I were on the same team, and friendly fire was turned off. I noticed that random civilian casualties made me feel sick. I questioned why lady avatars were scantily clad while dude avatars often weren’t. And I loved getting to sight-see. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Right now, my life’s parameters are my bedroom, my ambitions are the size of 80 bedrooms, and my \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> realm is the size of a zillion bedrooms. The game offers endless virtual space to roam when real-life space feels like a rare commodity. And relocation is the literal click of a button. When I tire of the mines, I try the mountains. When I’m done with the mountains, I go to the jungle. And when I’ve had it with the jungle, I hop in a boat that I made with oak from the jungle and find a new island to inhabit. Then I can do it all over again. The game’s natural world is artificial, but there’s something kind of enchanting about that block-shaped moon overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offline, my weeks have been punctuated with worry about the strain I’m putting on my household’s resources. But \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> promises a retreat where raw materials are always plentiful and useful—water for putting out lava, iron for swords and pickaxes, cobwebs for string, animals for food. Neither climate change nor a pandemic can threaten this virtual cornucopia. Lately, I’ve discovered an affinity for running through open fields and punching grass. The satisfying crunching sound leads me to five-minute punching sprees from time to time, but this isn’t nihilism. It’s practical. Every few squares of freshly punched grass unearth little seeds that keep my chickens procreating and my farm plentiful. It’s a blissed-out vision of sustainability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s be clear, though: \u003cem>Minecraft\u003c/em> is not a utopia. Days whiz by, and when that 32-bit block of sun starts to set, monsters are coming for me. In the mines, too. Exploding creepers, arrow-toting skeletons, mumbling zombies, nimble spiders, and mystifying enderman you can’t make eye contact with. I’m not very good at fighting these yet, but at least I can count on the game’s sonic and visual cues to let me know danger is afoot. Plus, I’m armed for battle. There are rules and boundaries within which I can almost guarantee safety. And if all else fails, I’ll come back to life in the same place I started: My bed, in my simple underground house, out of harm’s way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t say the same of the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, I’m clinging to structure. Time is passing quickly, and if I’m honest, I don’t always yearn to make days feel longer or fuller. But when I close my bedroom door and open up a virtual world, I can feel the therapy of making things up as I go. Of itching for daylight so I can return to feeding chickens and building a castle on a mountain. Of experiencing something—making actual memories—when togetherness feels out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kathryn Fink is a producer for\u003c/em> 1A. \u003cem>She’s a native of Virginia, a new gamer, and an unapologetic lit nerd.

"content": "\u003cp>When Jerry Stiller told his father he wanted to become an actor, his father offered an alternate plan. He said, “Why don’t you be a stagehand — that’s like being on the stage — at least you’ll be working every night,” Stiller told \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller did not heed his father’s advice and went on to have a long career in show business. He performed comedy on stage and screen, and, in later years, made a name for himself playing George Costanza’s hot-headed father on \u003cem>Seinfeld. \u003c/em>Stiller died of natural causes, his son Ben Stiller \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RedHourBen/status/1259759084309446657?s=20\">tweeted\u003c/a> Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller was born in Brooklyn in 1927. After serving in World War II, he teamed up with his wife, Anne Meara, to form the Stiller and Meara comedy duo — a practical move motivated by love. “We wanted to keep the marriage together,” he joked — she was tall and Catholic, he was short and Jewish — and until they partnered up, “we never got jobs together,” Stiller told the Archive of American Television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller and Meara enjoyed success as a duo for many years but eventually decided to pursue careers on their own. Looking back in 1993, Stiller told \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> he and Meara were young parents juggling a show business schedule — and trying “to figure out a way to do everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here were a husband and wife working together and suddenly you’re being asked to play Las Vegas,” he recalled. “What do you do, pick up the two children and the nanny and go to Vegas and get ready to do the nightclub act?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After stints on Broadway and on several TV shows in the 1970s, Stiller’s most notable role came in the early ’90s, when he joined the cast of \u003cem>Seinfeld.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller said producer Larry David was looking for an actor who would “play it down” — and he did at first — but felt the approach wasn’t working. So, in a final dress rehearsal in front of a live audience, Stiller played Costanza’s temperament up — way up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a now-famous episode, the frequently furious Costanza is encouraged to recite the mantra “serenity now” every time he gets riled up. Stiller went on to earn an Emmy nomination for his work on\u003cem> Seinfeld\u003c/em>. Years later, he played another angry dad on the show \u003cem>King of Queens.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller was also a father in real life, but not one fueled by anger. His son, actor Ben Stiller, told NPR that his dad was always supportive — and hilarious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He just can’t help but be funny because he’s so committed to being who he is,” Stiller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The father and son appeared together in Ben’s \u003cem>Zoolander \u003c/em>movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Meara died in 2015, she and Stiller had been married for more than 60 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Stiller said his mother’s humor tended to be dark, but his father’s was always intended to bring joy, and perhaps a bit of “serenity now,” to others. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

He said, “Why don’t you be a stagehand — that’s like being on the stage — at least you’ll be working every night,” Stiller told \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller did not heed his father’s advice and went on to have a long career in show business. He performed comedy on stage and screen, and, in later years, made a name for himself playing George Costanza’s hot-headed father on \u003cem>Seinfeld. \u003c/em>Stiller died of natural causes, his son Ben Stiller \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RedHourBen/status/1259759084309446657?s=20\">tweeted\u003c/a> Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller was born in Brooklyn in 1927. After serving in World War II, he teamed up with his wife, Anne Meara, to form the Stiller and Meara comedy duo — a practical move motivated by love. “We wanted to keep the marriage together,” he joked — she was tall and Catholic, he was short and Jewish — and until they partnered up, “we never got jobs together,” Stiller told the Archive of American Television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller and Meara enjoyed success as a duo for many years but eventually decided to pursue careers on their own. Looking back in 1993, Stiller told \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> he and Meara were young parents juggling a show business schedule — and trying “to figure out a way to do everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here were a husband and wife working together and suddenly you’re being asked to play Las Vegas,” he recalled. “What do you do, pick up the two children and the nanny and go to Vegas and get ready to do the nightclub act?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Years later, he played another angry dad on the show \u003cem>King of Queens.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stiller was also a father in real life, but not one fueled by anger.

"content": "\u003cp>Even before she was hired as a staff writer by the \u003cem>New Yorker\u003c/em>, Jia Tolentino had already picked apart \u003ca href=\"https://www.thehairpin.com/2014/07/why-i-have-to-be-so-rude/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">terrible pop songs\u003c/a>, analyzed the \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/when-everything-is-bullying-nothing-is-bullying-1773099202\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">overuse of “bullying”\u003c/a> as a catch-all, interviewed a woman who’d \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/interview-with-a-woman-who-recently-had-an-abortion-at-1781972395\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">had an abortion at 32 weeks\u003c/a>, criticized \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/no-offense-1749221642\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">modern feminism’s currency of offense\u003c/a>, and scrutinized her own role in helping \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/all-the-greedy-young-abigail-fishers-and-me-1782508801\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">under-qualified young white daughters of wealthy families\u003c/a> get into college. So when \u003cem>Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion\u003c/em> was published by Random House last year, the collection of Tolentino’s essays didn’t herald the arrival of a talented new writer so much as coronate one already embraced by readers of websites like the Hairpin and Jezebel, where she served as editor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Trick Mirror\u003c/em> reflects Tolentino’s immense gift for writing, with its mix of reporting, perspective, humor, intellect and personality. It’s also varied in scope: a personal essay on growing up in a Christian megachurch—only to leave it for the rapture of MDMA and the music of DJ Screw—eventually leads into a probing look at the aftermath of \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em>’s mishandling of a reported rape on the University of Virginia campus. Tolentino understands the internet like few contemporary writers, so it’s apt that her City Arts & Lectures appearance this week has been moved to a livestream. In conversation with Jenna Wortham, expect insight and tact when Tolentino appears Thursday, May 7, at 7:30pm online at City Arts & Lectures’ YouTube channel. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cityarts.net/event/tolentinowortham/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Even before she was hired as a staff writer by the \u003cem>New Yorker\u003c/em>, Jia Tolentino had already picked apart \u003ca href=\"https://www.thehairpin.com/2014/07/why-i-have-to-be-so-rude/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">terrible pop songs\u003c/a>, analyzed the \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/when-everything-is-bullying-nothing-is-bullying-1773099202\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">overuse of “bullying”\u003c/a> as a catch-all, interviewed a woman who’d \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/interview-with-a-woman-who-recently-had-an-abortion-at-1781972395\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">had an abortion at 32 weeks\u003c/a>, criticized \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/no-offense-1749221642\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">modern feminism’s currency of offense\u003c/a>, and scrutinized her own role in helping \u003ca href=\"https://jezebel.com/all-the-greedy-young-abigail-fishers-and-me-1782508801\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">under-qualified young white daughters of wealthy families\u003c/a> get into college. So when \u003cem>Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion\u003c/em> was published by Random House last year, the collection of Tolentino’s essays didn’t herald the arrival of a talented new writer so much as coronate one already embraced by readers of websites like the Hairpin and Jezebel, where she served as editor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Trick Mirror\u003c/em> reflects Tolentino’s immense gift for writing, with its mix of reporting, perspective, humor, intellect and personality. It’s also varied in scope: a personal essay on growing up in a Christian megachurch—only to leave it for the rapture of MDMA and the music of DJ Screw—eventually leads into a probing look at the aftermath of \u003cem>Rolling Stone\u003c/em>’s mishandling of a reported rape on the University of Virginia campus. Tolentino understands the internet like few contemporary writers, so it’s apt that her City Arts & Lectures appearance this week has been moved to a livestream. In conversation with Jenna Wortham, expect insight and tact when Tolentino appears Thursday, May 7, at 7:30pm online at City Arts & Lectures’ YouTube channel. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cityarts.net/event/tolentinowortham/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
