"Thursday's verdict is a stark reminder that #MeToo was an extrajudicial movement because it had to be. Millions of survivors shared #MeToo stories in the wake of the Weinstein story breaking. Very few of them had anything to do with Weinstein. Instead, they emerged from epidemic levels of sexual violence. Together, these stories raised awareness of the scale of the problem, amplifying the survivors’ collective credibility. Still, too many survivors are denied justice in courts of law. In her statement regarding the overturning of Weinstein’s conviction, Ambra Battilana Gutierrez said, 'This is an ongoing failure of the justice system — and the courts — to take survivors seriously and to protect our interests.' Even when they win, she recognizes, their victories are tenuous."——Leigh Gilmore, author of THE ME TOO EFFECT and TAINTED WITNESS https://buff.ly/49Vi1GF #MeToo WBUR

"...Chinese being a tonal language—as Japanese is not—demands tonal euphony in the lines and couplets of its poetry. To master these aspects of Chinese poetics was a most daunting challenge..."—Jonathan Chaves #Poetry #ChineseLiterature #JapaneseAuthors https://buff.ly/3QjCs9n

"While many uncertainties still remain about climate change and its impacts on our futures, not all hope is lost: there is still time...he four pillars of sustainable development—good governance, social outcomes (education and health), the environment, and economic systems—are a good example of systems thinking in action and how potential solutions to complex environmental challenges are a mesh of interwoven strategies that cut across sectors. Simply put, systems thinking can help us recognize that climate change, both its challenges and solutions, are all interconnected pieces that interact with one another."—Cassie Xu and Radhika Iyengar https://buff.ly/3xON7lU #EarthMonth #ClimateChange @Columbia @columbiaclimate

"The scope of the category “Japanese literature” is very differently conceptualized than it was just a generation ago; it now embraces a much broader range of forms and genres, incorporating many more texts written outside Japan, and including works composed by non-Japanese individuals, for example. Perhaps even more fundamentally, there has been a dramatic rise in interest in what is now called kanshibun (Sinitic poetry and prose), works composed in literary Chinese, the shared written language of the Sinographic sphere."—Matthew Fraleigh https://buff.ly/4dqYcds #Poetry #PoetryMonth #JapaneseLiterature #ChinesePoetry

"In the early twentieth century, a young, heterogeneous, and radical movement arose in Europe to drastically challenge the relationship between revolutionary politics, the arts, and beauty itself. And André Colomer, a poet laden with intense sensitivity, would explode onto the scenes this movement offered to grow to be one of the foremost theoreticians of anarchist individualism of his era, never losing sight of his poetic roots."—Oskar De Wolf https://buff.ly/44ghaPM #Poetry #Philosophy #PoetryMonth

"When modern Japan’s academic departments of “national literature” were launched in the early 1890s, they defined themselves through an exclusive attention to works written in Japanese, which had then been recently re-conceptualized as Japan’s “national language.” But it is increasingly part of the shared “common sense” of the field that the Sinitic traditions of Japan, so long ignored by modern scholars both in Japan and abroad, are an essential part of the picture"—Matthew Fraleigh https://buff.ly/3Q6YMTo #PoetryMonth #JapaneseLiterature #JapanesePoets
