to clarify: the abhorrent palestinian poetry/israeli prose policy died with michelle; the IDF himbo YA died thanks to chloe. bc of chloe, @paulxt & others, i was able to edit & publish pieces like below while at LARB. these writers are extraoardinary & received next to nothing.

stepped down as LARB’s managing editor today—the 5th senior+ editor to leave in 3 years, and the 4th staff member in 6 months. thank you to the writers for the greatest editorial privilege of my life. pay your staff and contributors. fix the way you treat people or die
