So honored that BOG QUEEN has been chosen, alongside work by Kimberly Blaeser and Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian, as one of @nationalbook.bsky.social’s Science+Literature Selected Titles for 2026!

I wrote about what Mamdani’s early win on child care says about momentum behind the issue nationwide (Nick Shirley notwithstanding) www.vox.com/policy/47516...

This is tonight! Come say hi!

there's going to be pressure within Trump world in 2026 to rewrite the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to exclude patients undergoing IVF @annanorth.bsky.social looks at the likely showdown at the EEOC www.vox.com/policy/47264...

I wrote about a schism on the right over IVF, that’s set to come to a head in 2026 (gift link)

Thanks so much @surlyspice.bsky.social!!

So many great recs here:

💚💚💚 thank you Yume!

This is so nice, thanks so much!!

I wrote about recess, and why kids too often have to spend it inside

I'm in the final stages of getting the 2026 new horror list ready to launch, so a reminder: please let me know about your books if you haven't already! RTs very appreciated

Thank you so much @kennethluke.bsky.social!!

This is very cool. Often food pantries need to spend their money making sure everyone has the basics to keep them fed and healthy, but not on the spices and flavors that make an enjoyable meal. www.burlapandbarrel.com/products/don...

The chaos adds to the stress. Young adults I spoke to while reporting named the uncertainty around SNAP and the back-and-forth as part of what was taking such a heavy toll—not knowing what to prioritize, or how to plan. Even as benefits begin to go out, that kind of uncertainty is devastating.

I wrote about the husbands of tradwives, why we don’t really hear about them, and what that says about the role of men in debates around family policy and culture (gift link)

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.

Immigration raids in California's Central Valley in January and February "coincided with a 22 percent increase in daily student absences" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

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...

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)

"Something about having a second child really messed with my relationship to music." @annanorth.bsky.social shared a playlist for her novel Bog Queen at @largeheartedboy.bsky.social largeheartedboy.com/2025/10/15/a...

Today is UK pub day for my new book BOG QUEEN, a literary murder mystery in which the victim is a two-thousand-year-old bog body! UK readers can buy here or wherever books are sold: www.weidenfeldandnicolson.co.uk/titles/anna-...

I wrote about what Latin can teach us about toxic nostalgia and the anxieties of the powerful. Thank you @lithub.com.web.brid.gy

So honored to be on this list!!
