    Thank you to the attorneys at @AuthorsGuild who went through hundreds of files & saw the truth about the stalking & harassment I dealt with for years. It came from one person but then others believed her lies. Luckily this did not kill me but it almost did many times.

    Seoul with over 9 million people (basically close to NYC at over 8 million), also extremely dense & with a major subway system, had 2 COVID19 deaths. Two. We are at over 19K dead in NYC.

    One thing I know about white people is some of them secretly have horses. Secret horses are a thing, I swear. Say things like “wow, I wonder what it would be like to own a real pony, would you feed it carrots and alfalfa” and watch them get very nervous.

    “different cultures have different ways?” um i have covered music since the 90s & i have never seen songwriters act the way you guys do. I don’t think the fans are so off. Esp as white people collaborating with artists of color don’t you think your grievances seem misguided?

    So proud of my dear friend Hushi who made this keffiyeh dress decades ago that Bella Hadid pulled out of the archives! (I dedicated my forthcoming novel Tehrangeles to him actually!)

    A very big deal on multiple levels. Lahiri, unlike some other writers, usually does not make major public political statements like this. And she’s been in the most elite tiers of the literary establishment since she got a Pulitzer at 33. Very happy she did this. 🙏🏽❤️💐🧿
