You've heard of “trad wives.” Where are the “trad husbands” — and what do they really want? Characteristically thought-provoking piece from @annanorth.bsky.social. www.vox.com/the-highligh...

DOG QUEEN!!!

So uh. I've spent the last five years working on a book about grief, mourning, who is allowed to grieve and how, and where we go from here, and... you can now preorder it!

Now that Zohran Mamdani won, how much of his agenda will he be able to accomplish? Here's my back-of-the-envelope estimation of what he can feasibly achieve and how. Short version: I actually think he can get a lot of it done.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection. The arrest reportedly took place in front of children. 19thnews.org/2025/11/chil...

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

Thank you @alexiscoe.bsky.social for letting me write about druids, mead, and more!

So honored to see BOG QUEEN on this Esquire list with @vauhinivara.bsky.social’s SEARCHES and so many other great books!

I've been working for many months on this article on Silicon Valley's under-the-radar role in bringing AI into schools across the US. I really hope you'll read it — here's a gift link — but I'll tell you some of the highlights in this thread. (1/x)

Loved talking about BOG QUEEN on @mprnews.org!

Ahhhhh @vauhinivara.bsky.social!!! Everybody read SEARCHES!!!

BOG QUEEN on the indie bestseller list! I’ve been so, so grateful to indie booksellers for their support of this book — they are doing really important and difficult work around the country right now and hearing kind words from them has meant so much! www.bookweb.org/indie-bestse...

Coming out of silence to share a story that's very meaningful to me — a look at what's going on in southwest Madagascar. Coral reefs that sustain entire communities are failing, despite decades of conservation. It highlights the need to rethink how conservation works. www.vox.com/climate/4650...

My union—the LA Times Guild—has authorized a strike with the support of 85% of our membership. This comes after years of brutal layoffs and no cost-of-living raises since 2021. Next up: we bargain. But if we have to strike, we will 🪧 laist.com/news/la-time...

My latest from @hyperallergic.com is on Trump’s proposed triumphal arch—& why looking at the structure’s history symbolizing imperialism & subjugation + its reception (Napoleon, Hitler) is important. NB: the ecclesiastical architectural firm pitching this structure. hyperallergic.com/1050375/the-...

Lovely evening hearing @annanorth.bsky.social & @carsonfaust.bsky.social talk about their new releases. Grateful to Storyhouse Bookpub for offering these opportunities in Des Moines. #booksky #bookstore #shoplocal

It's really hard to go to book events at bookstores while on a book buying ban, but I held strong and only picked up the books I preordered. @annanorth.bsky.social and @carsonfaust.bsky.social Excited for the new releases and enjoyed the talk at Storyhouse Book Pub.

Canada's Hudson Bay peatlands are one of Earth’s greatest climate protectors—and they’re under threat. Anna North’s new story, born out of her research for her new novel Bog Queen, is about what we stand to lose. Don't miss this one 💚 @annanorth.bsky.social/@vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4647...

I became really obsessed with peatlands during the years I worked on BOG QUEEN, so it was a real joy to write for @vox.com about how important these landscapes are for our climate future

Come talk about bogs with us tonight!

I love @largeheartedboy.bsky.social and it was such an honor to contribute this playlist for BOG QUEEN (even though my listening habits are kind of weird now)

Wildfires aren’t just getting bigger. They’re getting massively more expensive. A new study shows the most destructive fires are happening more often, fueled by climate change, urban sprawl, and decades of fire suppression. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4635...
