The fifth edition of The Book Supplement is here 📚🎉 with two essay collections, two memoirs, and a novel. #booksky

Joy is resistance. Buying my book is also resistance. Buying two copies of my book? Well, joy shared will reseed itself and multiply.

Fold down the upper right-hand corner of today so you can find it again later and remember. You can dog-ear your own Friday; it's not a library copy.

The Callow Method is the only path to enlightenment.

I've known Sabrina since she was an infant. She's a good person, devoted mom, lifelong striver, & participates in her community. She didn't have an easy start in life & nothing impossibly wonderful has EVER dropped in her lap. She’s a trier. Please vote for her. thesupermom.org/2026/sabrina...

In case you’re feeling bad about yourself today, here’s a wee tale. Four years ago I assembled a new desk chair. It’s been awful. Uncomfortable. Weirdly slanted. I had to keep a step stool under my feed and a pillow behind me knees and it was still BAD. +

Good morning, all

@finallydeirdre.bsky.social I just saw a follow request from you on Instagram. Is that really you?

Happy Birthday to the handsome, smart, wonderful @nathandunbar.bsky.social

Tuck a few of my sentences behind your ears when you want to feel fancy.

Looked at Bluesky and saw a more recent post from @sannewman.bsky.social and it finally felt like Spring. The sun came out!

Your fortitude is an example, @miraclecharlie.bsky.social

Happy birthday to someone I admire so much. A miracle to have met you. @miraclecharlie.bsky.social

occasional reminder that my [award-winning] second book is in paperback and it's cheap as hell. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Hold on, everyone. I have to go out for a bit this morning. Nobody say anything good while I'm gone. You know I can't bear to miss out.

I need at least a handful of you people to become billionaires so you can bankroll my preferred reality into existence: Heaven on earth for everyone.

Good morning, all

Is this the complaints department?

Good morning, all!

I visited with a friend recently. Luckily I always keep my butterfly net at hand in case one wanders by. Long story short, your pal Duchess is ready to slay all oncoming dragons again. Let them try.

Never worry! I picked up all your lost hours overnight and I'll parcel them back out when a benevolent mood strikes.

By how many years are we all setting our clocks ahead?

Dear friends, I'm sorry to have to share this. My sister has made this to help us with end-of-life expenses for our mother. We had not anticipated financially covering burying both our parents in such close succession. Thank you.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I won't be at AWP next weekend, but I will be reading at The Big Blue Marble Bookstore in Philly next Saturday at 2:00.

If you don't see me visiting you in your dreams, you might examine your life choices, starting with the snacks you have on offer.

"If you want to start believing in ghosts, stop sleeping at night and write a book about dead people. Find the graves of people with big personalities who have been forgotten by history, leave flowers on those graves, and then stop sleeping at night. See what happens."

I know you're thinking a lobotomy sounds pretty good right about now, but hear me out: there may be downsides.

love this perfect flashback remembrance from Kevin Grauke "New driver’s license hot in my Velcro wallet. I drove her to a steakhouse—K-Bob’s—to impress. No fool, when the waiter asked how, I replied, Well done." https://www.havehashad.com/2sow5

Hey hey friends! It's about time for my annual cookie-love-prayer event. I make heart-shaped cookies full of love. Fav this post & I’ll hold you in my heart & say prayers on your name while I bake; repost for a chance to win some! It’s a love-filled #CookieParty. Pics of cookies past...

The sky may indeed be falling, but for a few glorious minutes this morning, it was exquisite in its descent.

ICE is staying at this hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Instead of screaming at them, we tried serenading them with encouragement to defect and lay down their weapons. #singingresistance

Today's advice column, brought to you by @summerbrennan.bsky.social, is to link arms with somebody nearby who's in cahoots with the forces of good.

Good morning, all.

Someday I'll talk to you children about skimming a little off the top of each dewy morning, but not yet. You won't understand until you're older.

Hello, community 💐

Focus your mind and your actions very intently on what you can do to improve the world, even if it's only as far as your arms can reach.
