✨PUBLISHING ANNOUNCEMENT ✨ At long last, my Great Gatsby retelling - a psychological thriller/drama graphic novel filled with vintage glamour - is getting published! #GreatGatsbyIIE

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Honoring Alice Wong's life and legacy with gratitude, in solidarity and sorrow, this morning. I was a fan; thinking of all who loved and knew her personally. Alice's words speak to us still. As a chronically ill person, I will keep listening. What a beautiful, bold, *brilliant* life well lived.

Happy Nat Turner Day for all who celebrate 🙌🏾

i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Sometimes to fight book bans you need to know what your officials are doing and sometimes they ah...don't want to tell you. Here's how to make a FOIA request in EVERY state docs.google.com/document/u/0...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Industry pros: unfortunately ReedPop has confirmed that not only are they not doing press tickets for #BookCon2026 but they also will not be doing any industry or pro tickets at this moment. In case y’all were hoping, like me, that they would do so like they do for NYCC.

TOKYO NIGHT PARADE is half off at That Online Retailer but this book is my whole heart 🧡

Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!

“can your client illustrate and design this for $0? we have a lot of followers” i will bite you in half

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

nobody cares if the rich leave New York. The empanada guy is who really matters
