Has ‘free trade’ and ''win-win' a future, in an era of zero-sums? How will the MAGAisation of U.S. politics reshape the world? In this 10th episode, we delve into the vision of Robert Zoellick, former President of the World Bank. Full episode:

Stakeholders of a Fractured World: in Dialogue with Robert Zoellick

In a world of divisions and discontents, does the vision of nation-states like the U.S., China, and others as responsible stakeholders still hold promise? Who still hold stakes? Have the stakes changed? Who else should hold more stakes? How should stakes be distributed? In this episode of the World

This is as exciting as a book launch. Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

An acceptance from one of my dream journals today. First of the year. I guess good things do take time (unfortunately).

From a while ago but possibly one of my favorite pieces I ever had the privilege of accepting! I think about it a lot lol.

Everything's too much all the time, but I've got a new story out and I'm proud of it. Thanks to the crew at @redividermag.bsky.social for giving it a home: redivider.emerson.edu/revision/

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Did you know MARCH is a FREE SUB month? 😍 If you're planning to submit, we suggest doing it early! Sometimes we have to shut 'em down early due to a rad but overwhelming response. AKA: when our Submittable maxes out 😭 buff.ly/32k496o

This book had me bawling my eyes out lol

Split Lip Magazine@splitlipthemag.bsky.social · 2y ago

The Split Lip staff LOVES to recommend great books! We're going to shout out some fantastic reads all week on our Instagram stories. Thanks to our intern Evangeline Lim for making these groovy graphics and to flash reader @robinvanille.bsky.social for starting us off!

Took a free beginner sewing class at the Cambridge Public Library and made this little drawstring bag. It’s crappy but isn’t it cute we can go to a place and just learn to make smth from scratch? Yeah go to the library!!!

Just taught my first ESL class at a college!!

My parents didn’t even LOOK at what I was reading lol.

When you were a teen, did your parents approve of the books you were reading?
