Hey, everybody! Join @chenoweth.bsky.social, @fieldsmeyer.com, and me at noon on Wednesday to talk about the past evolution and future trajectory of the concentration-camp regime we're now living inside—and how we can save the country. Virtual and free! But you must register.

Why @bertsbooks.bsky.social are the bees knees!! 💜💜 Thank you, thank you for the gorgeous bookmarks! Love them SO much - you are amazing! 💙📚💙 #ChristOnABike #books #booksky @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

📅 Tues. 6/10 @ 7PM: We are exicted to welcome Michael Koresky in store for a discussion of his new book "Sick and Dirty: Hollywood’s Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness". He will be joined in conversation by arts journalist Loren King. Learn more: buff.ly/ptCRQG9

Congratulations to "Operation Mincemeat" for their Tony nomination for "Best New Musical". We saw it in London in 2023 and were absolutely blown away! If you are in London or NYC, do NOT miss this show. #Broadway #theater @mincemeatbway.bsky.social @mincemeatlive.bsky.social operationbroadway.com

If you order through @portersqbooks.bsky.social or @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social, I can even personalize and sign copies for you! How neat is that? As for reviews, I don't have a great solution. Oh! Tell people you know you like the book! And encourage them to get a copy from an indie store! Yes.

An experiment for @outsidemag.bsky.social, in which I discover that suburban backyard camping is... nice? But not in the way I expected.

In Bloomington, IL, @bobzbay.bsky.social has been busy!

Before we launch into whatever horribleness of the day. I give you:

@onefootiniceland.bsky.social You. Me. 1,500 of our best friends. Chip in! robbreport.com/shelter/home...

VERY cool!

If you're looking for something that puts a new twist on classic pop-culture moments, these three recent pieces of mine are available to buy. Give me a prod via @ reply or Chat messages. #caricature #art

This is the only bookstore I was able to get to in Stockholm, due to illness and weather! It's not an indie but it does have a great selection. The Akademibokandeln in Fältöversten mall.

Scandinavian Travel Reads: "Madly, Deeply: The Diairies of Alan Rickman": Splendid. Witty. Brutally honest. Heartbreaking. Great travel companion. "Lost Voices from the Titanic: The Definitive Oral History" by Nick Barratt. Uncovers new voices and stories from the time. Please buy from an indie!
