Okay: starting tomorrow we are going to make *5* announcements with @NewYorker. You will run out of free articles. Ideally, if you have it and you like the New Yorker, you can subscribe and support our outlets. But if you cannot, it will be on our website, per usual.
Just trying to see this complaint out before we begin!
I don't see Cali on this list! *TRIPLE BACK FLIP*
See you on Wednesday, BELOVED NEW YORK CITY / GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD! coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-trave…
Time to shout out the team! Thank you everyone at NBF! Especially @annadobben for fearlessly navigating pandemic submissions and deliberations. @LOLBev for a BEAUTIFUL rollout. @meredithandrews for getting everything up online and out and many acts of heroism.
And @DhyanaTaylor, without her, nothing I do is possible. Nothing.
And, of course, thanks to the whole Team and our interns for pinch hitting on Awards when needed and being absolutely fucking amazing.
As the third-generation of Black women in my family to graduate from the University of Chicago... I can say with some pretty deep familiarity with the students, the culture and the curriculum: thank friggin' goodness.
Only glancingly related, but I will never ever ever forget that there were only 7 Black men (!) in a class of 1000 in the year 1997. Maybe 15 Black women? Trifling!
