Being 40 so far for me is getting approved for a mortgage and scheduling a colonoscopy in the same afternoon

"When people talk about personal narrative as a literary form, there is almost always a bias toward the insights made available by hindsight. But what can you see as you are coming down the road?" Leslie Jamison at the @parisreview.bsky.social

My new book is sort of about writing my other book and I think I want to just spend my career writing a circle of books standing there pointing at each other like the Spiderman meme

I don’t know what Republicans thought they would accomplish by dragging Mayor Wu to Capitol Hill but I’d personally like to thank them for giving everyone in here something to unite around.

hey new followers! I wrote a gay memoir about death, violence, murder, and horror movies (and family struggles, coming of age, etc) that some cool and trustworthy people wrote nice things about! I'd be honored if you picked up a copy, and maybe even left a review somewhere!

Good morning. I investigated Toni Morrison's first full-length play for @nymag.com. The play, Dreaming Emmett, was partially inspired by the death of Michael Stewart, the subject of my forthcoming book. www.vulture.com/article/toni...

There aren't enough Pushkin memes in English out there. My class is reading Feast in Time of Plague this week so I had to take things into my own hands. (I do give trigger warnings, fwiw!)

I’m so excited to reveal the cover of THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT. @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have spent the last few months reaching out to the people we ourselves turn to for clarity and hope. This anthology of twenty-six writers is a community in book form.

I really don't get why so many Democrats hear "You should be the party of the working class again," and think that means that they should punt on all social issues. It is in fact possible to protect personal freedoms and liberties AND fight for economic equality, protections, and fairness.

Some figures on the potential death toll from Musk's pointless destruction of USAID, from a memo written by a fired official. He will be remembered as one of the great monsters of history. 1/x

this part should be aired over and over — the complete off the charts mental derangement of the president of the united states as he declares, minutes after threatening World War III, his eternal bond to Putin, as a victim of stuff that came out of Hunter Biden’s bathroom

I seem to remember President Doge wearing a "Tech Support" t-shirt and a DARK MAGA hat in the same "highest office" setting a few days ago. Was that not respectful of the audience? These people are so embarrassing.

"It hurts and confuses us to imagine that there are anti-liberatory feminisms, but I think when we do allow that and we do conceptually break that possibility open, that’s when it becomes possible to stake out our ground as an anti-colonial, proletarian, trans feminism." —Sophie Lewis

Just found this lovely early review of my book 🤓: "Is this desire a life-drive or a death-drive? Eros or Thanatos? It can be both, I think. Masking and unmasking, chasing and giving up, judging others and judging ourselves: these can all be about wanting to live and wanting to die."
