Edited By, edited by Ellen Datlow, Subterranean Press, 2020. Cover art by Anna & Elana Balbusso, info: subterraneanpress.com.

In dozens of anthologies published over the last thirty years, the words “edited by” have been followed by a singularly reassuring name: Ellen Datlow. For countless readers (and writers), Datlow’s name has served as a virtual guarantee of quality. Each of her many anthologies, whatever its specific nature, reflects a high degree of taste, intelligence, and professional judgment. As Gary K. Wolfe notes in his excellent introduction, her work has received “an almost unprecedented string of honors.” Honors and awards are fine, of course, but it’s the stories that ultimately matter. And Datlow has ushered more good stories into the world than any editor in living memory. The book you are currently holding stands as a testament to that fact. Edited By is a thoroughgoing attempt to reflect both the quality and infinite variety of the fiction she has championed in the course of her career. The stories gathered here come from all over the literary map. There are SF, fantasy, and horror stories, often in unique combinations. There are household names among the contributors, such as Neil Gaiman, whose screenplay/story “Eaten (Scenes from a Moving Picture)” is a chilling account of eater and eaten, predator and prey. There are newer, lesser known figures as well, among them Nathan Ballingrud, whose “Monsters of Heaven” is an achingly beautiful story of grief, loss, and strange encounters. And there are many award-winning writers included, among them Elizabeth Hand, Kelly Link, Lucius Shepard, Ted Chiang, and Jeffrey Ford, to name just a few. Their contributions are among the many highlights of this book. Edited By is one of those rare books that offers intense pleasure and intellectual excitement on every page. There are no bad stories here, and there is no lazy or indifferent writing. Some of the finest imaginative fiction of modern times awaits within the covers of this magisterial book. This one really does belong on the permanent shelf. Don’t let it pass you by.

Rookie bundlers power Buttigieg fundraising surge

Rookie bundlers power Buttigieg fundraising surge

2020 elections

Ninety-two people and couples have raised over $25,000 each for Buttigieg, and only one-third of them were big Clinton or Obama bundlers.

Pete Buttigieg is drawing new blood into the world of big-league presidential fundraisers.

Buttigieg’s campaign has amassed 94 people and couples who have already raised more than $25,000 for him in the race, according to a list of his top bundlers obtained by POLITICO. But roughlytwo thirds of those donors were not among the major fundraisers for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during other recent elections, according to a POLITICO analysis — though in many cases they are well-connected people in their own right.

Story Continued Below

Buttigieg’s top bundlers, known inside the campaign as his “investor’s circle,” includes well-known hedge fund manager Orin Kramer and Esprit co-founder Susie Tompkins Buell — each of whom has raised upwards of $25,000 for his campaign. The rainmakers were instrumental in making Buttigieg the biggest fundraiser in the Democratic field this spring, as he brought in $24.8 million in the second quarter.

And with Buttigieg largely drawing from outside the ranks of traditional Democratic bundlers,the group’s loyalty could help the South Bend Mayor raise multiples more over the course of that campaign — helping him hire field staff, cut television ads and, they hope, break into the top of the polls at just the right time.

“It’s impressive that all of these people have raised $25,000,” said Connor Farrell, anunaligned Democratic fundraiser. Both the number of big-dollar fundraisers and the small-dollar donors to Buttigieg’s campaign at this stage in the race are signs that his next fundraising quarter is going to be “a really good one,” Farrell said.

Though Buttigieg’s fundraising has surged, he has stagnated in the polls in recent weeks, generally running behind the top four of Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. But fundraisers for Buttigieg’s campaign are unfailingly enthusiastic, confident that their work is providing the fuel for Buttigieg to make a big leap in the final weeks and months before the Iowa caucuses. They praise the campaign for its constant hustle and frequent communication with donors, which has built a sense of community and pride among the donors.

“There is a tremendous cooperative spirit about being helpful to each other” among Buttigieg bundlers, said Susan Turnbull, a former vice chair of the DNC and a donor to the campaign. “People want to support each other and make everyone successful.”

The gung-ho atmosphere, which would be commonplace during many presidential election cycles, contrasts to other campaigns during the 2020 election. This year, many candidates — eager to make their case to small-dollar donors — made little outreach to big donors and fundraisers at the start of the year and waited to start bundler programs like Buttigieg’s. (Some leading candidates, including Biden and Harris, now do more outreach to campaign bundlers.) Warren, who in past years has attended fundraisers and events hosted by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest fundraising names, this year swore off private fundraisers all-together.

Meanwhile, Buttigieg has captured early enthusiasm for his historic campaign by recruiting a cadre of gay male donors who are raising big money for his campaign.

Many are younger and less well-known — but still well-connected — LGBT donors who have been tapping their networks for Buttigieg’s campaign. They include Terrence Meck, cofounder of the nonprofit The Palette Fund; Alex Slater, founder of the Washington D.C.-based Clyde Group and Los Angeles consulting firm president Greg Propper. A few well-known fundraiserssuch as film producer Bruce Cohen and his partner Gabe Catone arealso among Buttigieg’s $25,000 bundlers.

Several of the biggest names in LGBT political giving are meanwhile not currently involved with the campaign at a significant level. Individuals like software entrepeneur Tim Gill and philanthropist David Bohnett, who helped propel the gay marriage movement — stayed quiet during the early months of the presidential race while Buttigieg’s historic run as a gay man drew headlines.

Instead, Gill and Bohnet have cut checks to Biden, whose 2012 statement in favor of same-sex marriage won him enduring fans in the LGBTQ community.

As he began building name recognition in the presidential race, Buttigieg worked overtime to build relationships with donors and gain their help in fundraising.

“These numbers represent a strong, growing movement; they show that people across our country believe in Pete’s message of generational change,” said the information circulated to donors about the bundling program.

Other in-demand bundlers for Buttigieg’s campaign include Nicole Avant, an early fundraiser for Barack Obama and former U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas; former U.S. Representative Don Beyer; andGary Hirshberg, chairman of Stonyfield Farm yogurt and his wife, Meg. The list also includes several members of the Twin Cities’ billionaire Pohlad family, which made its money in finance and business in the Midwest.

But in order to stay in the top tier of presidential contenders, and the race overall, Buttigieg will also have to continue building support in primary states and across the country. In recent weeks, he has started using the massive fundraising haul from the second quarter of the year to hire dozens of staff members in states like Iowa and New Hampshire, where until now he has had little on-the-ground presence aside from media. Buttigieg has also added well-known Democratic operatives to his senior staff, including Michael Halle, who recently joined the campaign as a senior adviser.

Buttigieg’s bundlers say the campaign is also keeping up its ferocious fundraising.

“He continues to have a crazy pace of fundraisers all over the country,” said Tod Sedgwick, former U.S. Ambassador to the Slovak Republic and a Buttigieg bundler. “The fundraising is maintaining at a high level. I don’t think there’s any slack.”

Stonyfield #PlayFree Initiative

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Stonyfield.  All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.

On any given weekend, you will find us at a ball field.  Spring baseball and soccer season is in full swing. And if one of the kids isn’t playing a sport, you can find us playing, hanging out, or taking Max for a walk in a field or at the park.

Over 26 million kids and families play on sports fields and parks in the U.S.  Of that, 65% have been sprayed with chemical cocktail of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides to keep the grass green and weed free.

I’ve seen the lawn maintenance trucks at the fields and parks and know that the field wasn’t being treated organically. Truthfully, I thought, “But what can I do about it?”  My kids want to play sports and I want them to be outside enjoying nature.  So I’ve done what I could – making sure they wash their hands or shower after practice/games, keeping shoes outside, washing equipment before bringing it inside, etc.

But what I couldn’t control was the air. When a child breathes in air filled with herbicide-laden dust or vaporized herbicide, this inhaled dose is absorbed into the blood stream almost immediately, reaching all organs soon after. Pesticides like glyphosate that stick to the soil are especially likely to be inhaled when kids, playing on treated fields, kick up dust. Because kids are closer to the ground, compared to adults, they get a larger dose of chemicals.

I don’t like pesticides and chemicals in my food, why would I want it on the sports fields and parks my family enjoys everyday?

Last year, Stonyfield announced that it is helping to convert public parks and playing fields across the country to organic grounds management with their #PlayFree Initiative. They’ve been working in organic fields for their cows for over 35 years so they know a thing or two about how to get it done.

I’ve toured their fields in Vermont and can attest that their cows are very, very happy, much healthier and well cared for living the organic life.

The first ten cities selected to receive support in transitioning their parks to organic maintenance have successfully kicked off the process of employing organic pest management in designated parks and green spaces: South Portland, ME, Costa Mesa, CA, Burbank, CA, Tustin, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, Houston, TX, North Miami, FL, Hyattsville, MD, Portsmouth, NH and Dover, NH.  Hopefully, this list continues to grow as communities see the benefits of organic maintenance.

Last Friday, my family and I got to attend a New Hampshire Fisher Cats game for a special announcement from Stonyfield co-founder and Chief Organic Optimist Gary Hirshberg. Over the next two years, Stonyfield will help to convert the field at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium to organic grounds management, making the Fisher Cats’ home field the first field to be organically managed in all of professional baseball.

I’m super excited about the #PlayFree Initiative!  It’s a win-win situation for the communities.  Hopefully, it will spark a movement for more communities to convert to organic field practices.  To find out more information about changing your community click HERE. For tips on changing your own backyard, click HERE.

I think our kids, pets, community, and the earth deserves this step in the right direction.
