Please read. And then read Rachel’s book linked here

I could not be prouder to be nominated for the Le Guin. To be acknowledged as part of her tradition is an honor.

um, did someone mention Killing Eve?? 🔪🪓❤️

I love this book. My students love this book. I bet you’ll love it too.

i left a fairly large account and i've never tried to recreate it here. instead, i enjoy the slower pace: posting for ~3 friends, lurking, reading, fretting when i reply-guy too much

as someone who works at a teaching university where we regularly meet to discuss best pedagogical practices, i'd suggest that the main threats to serious teaching are mass layoffs, increased class size, AI, and threats of violence, not the research we manage to eke out with limited time and funds

Years ago my book "Arresting Dress" was featured in OFTV and it was honestly the highlight of my career ✨ Morgan Page is an absolute genius and the whole series is fantastic

One for the Killing Eve fans

my favorite podcast ever is back?!!!

widow’s bay!!! i love patricia

going to try a commonplace book assignment 🤞

devils, vampires, sirens, succubi... also notoriously seductive

need anti-AI assessment ideas for an asynchronous online summer course. thoughts? feelings?

my first thought when watching that finale! i’m excited to listen to this

amidst the latest round of AI discouragement, i’m going to share that today i heard from the singer of one of my favorite bands who said lovely things about my new book. *nothing* beats that feeling. i won’t win prizes or make money but i touched someone i deeply respect with words that are all mine

Hi all! Dropping in to announce three classes I’m running this summer… one in person in Brooklyn, the others virtual. These are always a lot of fun and I love getting to work with new folks. See meganmilks.com/classes for more info, and please share with others who may be interested. 🙏🏼

sometimes i think i should’ve “stayed in my lane” in academia. i would be such an accomplished historian by now! but instead i’m sitting here jumping between writing a fan studies abstract and an experimental short story - with no guaranteed acceptance of either - and i’m happy

a good time to revisit Joseph Fasano’s poem

I don’t personally know Charlie Jane or Hailey but I do know cancer and medical bills, as well as the difference it makes when strangers chip in to help. Consider donating if you can

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

apparently trans Achilles is having an algorithmic moment. anyway, buy wrath goddess sing.

“Clare Sears approaches Killing Eve's middle-aged sapphic vibes with scholarly panache.” @inlandemperor.bsky.social on my new book. who could ask for a better blurb?? ✨

i remember writing when cut and paste literally meant scissors and tape

people who blurb books “in this economy” are basically gods

people who blurb books “in this economy” are basically gods

there is in fact a craft to writing i did have a great time winging it though so i don’t mind that i was late to learn

i have recommended this book to so many people! i’ll do it again now ✍️❤️

sure, there are huge problems with college students using AI, but there are countless more resisting the temptation and producing amazing, brave, original work. “nontraditional” undergrads at state universities are the best!

Now the reading is done, so it's time to announce it everywhere! Coming in October 2027 from @traumbooks.bsky.social: POWERHORSE and Other Stories, a collection of all my stories about weird guys with bad ideas

a great explanation of why preordering matters

nothing like an "army dreamers" cover to send me down a kate bush rabbit hole. 8 year old me was obsessed

not the main point, but as i sit here during spring break, slogging away at my historical novel and wracked with doubt because i’ve never written a novel before, i keep remembering what isaac said: i’ve “got the range” 🎯

I’m incredibly grateful to people who have already donated. We still have a way to go so if you’re able to chip in, I’d really appreciate it ❤️ gofund.me/b06f26698

I can’t wait to read this!

me - I am done with academic writing also me - but the blood drip from the inverted V in Killing Eve’s title card… 🩸

Oh shit you guys it's the pub day for the paperback of A/S/L!! Copies have been a lil scarce (since it ahem sold through two 💪 hardcover 💪 printings 😇 😈 ❤️) so if you have been looking for it with no luck now is your chance okay!!!

sad I can’t make it in person but look at this incredible line up with @jeannethornton.bsky.social @mayadeane.bsky.social @olivasthewriter.bsky.social
