- Reposted by Meredith Rose"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

- Reposted by Meredith RoseArresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

- Reposted by Meredith RoseThe charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

- Reposted by Meredith RoseAs someone who wrote in 'snatched time' for many years, and still writes at the kitchen table, this resonates. (I gave up my office so my kids could have their own rooms.)

- My general rule re: tattoos is that if I get an idea, I have to sit on it for one year. If I still want it at the end of that year, I'm clear to get it. Only one idea has ever survived this process to date!

- "But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. ... The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
- "Sisyphus, proletarian of the gods, powerless and rebellious, knows the whole extent of his wretched condition: it is what he thinks of during his descent. The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn."
