Patricia Lockwood Goes Viral The writer’s new novel, “Will There Ever Be Another You,” is a singular account of losing her mind, body, and art to COVID—and of trying to get them back.

she's just so great

Marilyn Manson "Funky Frankenstein" I snuck into Frankenstein's lab A place I'd heard was very fab But inside it seemed rather drab Until I saw a monster on a slab Lightning struck, the monster rose Wearing funky disco clothes It shook its hips and struck a pose Then said "It's party time, let's go!" [Chorus] Funky Frankenstein alright Frank is getting down tonight Move over Drac-u-la 'Cause Frankentein's a superstar

Weird how Marilyn Manson’s lyrics were controversial in the 90s but don’t seem shocking at all anymore:

important that for luthen, cassian, kleya et al every sacrifice is a successful fulfillment of a mission, and for dedra and syril everything they accomplish for the empire personally fucks them over

Folks they're calling it the Pink Opaque, they're saying the worldbuilding is way too scary and way too complicated for kids. I have big guys, muscle guys, four star generals coming to me with tears in their eyes saying Thank you sir for saving us from the man in the moon, he's the big bad

On Friday night, n+1—alongside many of our peer nonprofit arts organizations—received notice that our 2025 NEA grant has been terminated due to the Trump administration’s “shifting funding priorities.” We knew this might be coming, but receiving the official notice was still jarring, as was some of the messaging itself. It’s unclear to us whether we’ll still be able to recover the money we’ve been promised this year—a $12,500 grant meant to help us pay our authors, our editors, and to have the magazine printed and distributed to our readers. We’ve requested the funds we’ve already spent, and now we’re waiting to see if the money will come through. We’re trying to stay optimistic, but with the administration’s other announcement this week that the NEA might be shut down in its entirety, it’s hard to do so. I’m writing to ask for two things—first, for short-term, immediate assistance to help us replace these funds. You can make a donation through our website, or—if you’re in New York and free on June 10—you can buy a ticket to our annual benefit, the N Plus Ultra. Second, we ask for your ongoing support amid the challenges that we, and other small magazines, are already beginning to face. You can do that by subscribing, of course, convincing your friends to subscribe (or simply sending them a gift subscription), or by buying a bit of merch from our shop. And maybe most meaningfully, you can share the n+1 pieces you’re reading and stay engaged with (and be vocal in your support of) the independent media you care about most. We’ll need all the help we can get. With gratitude, Dani Oliver Development Director, n+1

Our NEA grant was canceled.

Here’s a letter from our development director about what’s happening.
