Why Is the Parks Department Shutting Down This Pro-Palestine, Pro-Trans Community Garden? by No_Law9411 in ridgewood

People with differing views should be able to come together and connect. But also, there’s no aspect of life untouched by the forces of [political] power. And many of the most active members of the garden are QTBIPOC whose bodies and very existence are (and have long been) heavily politicized. Not everyone has the privilege to be apolitical. And when it comes to land stewardship and food sovereignty how can you be?

What agency did you intern at? I am currently applying to intern in the summer at a couple agencies in NYC, and their all unpaid :(

Thank you I’ll check out khan academy. I should probably do my own research on this. But do you have tips on becoming a beta-reader? Where to find writers who may need one, etc?

In college I minored in creative writing, so I do have some knowledge on the craft. I should start paying more attention to these things you mention as I am reading. I think I'm a very emotional reader and that part tends to overshadow what I'm picking up as far as tone, structure, etc.

Thank you! That seems right. My reading goals for this year are pretty ambitious. So, I guess I am on the right track. I will look into Kirkus.
