*Kramer slides into mentions* Might I share that my first book The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential To American Democracy (And What We Can Learn From Them) is out in stores and available online for purchase after last week www.theinstigatorsbook.com

It me!!!!!

This came across my feed, and I wondered how many books @lollardfish.bsky.social has singlehandedly sold. It's got to be, like, a LOT a lot.

Cool book alert! 🚨 @lollardfish.bsky.social

I just published The People United: A Memoir of Hope and Resistance During Trump's First Term. It's my experience leading a grassroots activist group from 2016-21. Early reviews call it compelling and inspirational! Bookshop: bookshop.org/p/books/the-... Amazon: www.amazon.com/People-Unite...

Please listen to @kawulf.bsky.social and buy two thanks!!! - a disinterested party

This is what I need to know. If you're a writer, editor, other person we might invite to be a guest on a podcast about writing, would it having video make you *less* likely to agree to be on? Or does it not matter? Can you share with writers? @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @lollardfish.bsky.social

the thing is, college students -- especially, but not exclusively, outside the Ivies -- are fucking great which is why the right (and elite centrists) are so concerned about making sure they "know their place" as faculty, I will always be on the students' side

This isn't mine but i LOVED the anthology. it was really fun to read stories from 100 years ago (with the original illustrations), and deserves a lot more interest. Lucynka did such great work selecting for modern expectations and ensuring a wide variety of plot/style.

In Chicago you either have to write an essay for the Tribune or take a shot of Malort. I took the shot. (Vasectomies are easy and reliable and then you sit on the couch for a couple days with an ice pack).

I just saw someone saying that AKlo is “AIPAC owned” as a reason she’s a centrist mess—which, good lord, if you believe that you have become wildly antisemitic and have no idea what her multi-decade political career has looked like.

Five stars for this book title.

Also: the graduation speaker racket is a waste of time and money. Every college campus has charismatic professors who could do a better job.

The “what’d I say??! Why are they booing??” To “what am I gonna do??” Is amazing

I admire the hell out of these Texas Tech students, who held a funeral for academic freedom: pen.org/texas-tech-a...

fab late #medievalsky / #earlymodern history job folks! considering what magical unicorns perm jobs in history departments are these days, i can only imagine with some trepidation how many apps this well get... 🗃️

Six months from now, guess what's coming out? In case I hadn't mentioned it lately, YOU, ME, & THE CONSPIRACY will drop on November 10, 2026.

An Indiana University biology professor has been kicked out of his university lab after speaking up in defense of international postdocs who were targeted for deportation. www.science.org/content/arti...

Well. I wrote about fishing. And not wanting to hurt myself. I’d like you to read it. [gift link]

Last spring, I realized I'm really good at holding onto things: mistakes, my thoughts, how bad I am at peopling. Putting things down is not my strong suit but I can carry things. And so I started thinking about what I wanted to carry and one morning I snuggled my cat and decided I could carry that.

Lotta people in tech underestimate how much we hate you and your works and everything you do

I wrote a whimsical middle grade novel for fans of the TV show Ghosts! It's about a girl who inherits a business called The Unfinished Business and must then finish the unfinished business of The Unfinished Business' late, ghostly owner... bookshop.org/a/975/978164... www.amazon.com/dp/1646036751/

I read The Public Scholar this weekend. It has very practical advice for academics who want to do more public-facing writing. I liked that it has a lot of examples, and is easily transferable to different disciplines.

If you curate your feed well, it's a wellspring of art, wildlife photos, cats, and reading material. I genuinely love it.

I have found more good reading from the authors here on Bsky, than I have from Amazoo's algorum. Fuck the so-called "A-List"; you are all my A-List.

i think you were the one who introduced me to @henrysnow.bsky.social’s forthcoming book on management via an enthusiastic boost!

Well … wolves have a chance. Wonder if they can stay focused. Sloppy start to the half.

whew

TIL that Kim Rhoades is not the great @kimrhodes.bsky.social

Bluesky is the book app

Got sick of losing on environmental issues at work so wrote a novel about an EPA special agent that travels to Italy to kick criminal polluter ass.

Turned on the game to see gobert taming and missing a three. Huh. Doesn’t seem optimal.

Whenever I read articles like this, I think about how $1.5m is enough money to live on the interest for the rest of my life, and never do another day of work. That'd be 60k a year at a pretty achievable 4% high-yield savings account interest rate.

In that case… the funniest book ever written about IEP meetings is out now: www.bloomsbury.com/us/deaf-baby...

The way!

So filet mignon was on a huge sale at Costco … Mother’s Day dinner: filet topped with ramp butter and morels, beet salad, potatoes, and a strawberry rhubarb cake.

REMEMBER THAT I AM EXCITED YOU WROTE A BOOK AND WILL SHARE YOUR BOOK POSTS

I recommend being a breathless booster hype man for people and friends and ideas you very much actually like.

Today was the most exciting day for a Wizards fan in years. Given their glut of guards, I think it's likely they will draft AJ Dybantsa, who might be Michael Beasley 2.0. But, for today, everything is wonderful. And Dybansta might be good after he leaves Washington.

I really wish people aspiring to write understood what a competitive advantage being able to write without AI will be in the coming years.

“AI in schools” is going great
