I loved editing this essay on embroidery and how the act of making forces reinvention and pushing deeper. @therumpus.net therumpus.net/2025/02/20/h...

Cutting research budgets is like saying you don't care about cancer or Alzheimer's or Parkinson's being cured within your lifetime. Science is happening so quickly. Outcomes are improving year over year. Diseases that used to be death sentences aren't anymore. And they want to just walk away.

I love that Gladiator 2 prioritized Denzel laughing and Paul Mescal palling around with the boys above earning the plot.

The most liberating feeling I’ve had as an adult is hitting my out-of-pocket max.

Merry Christmas from the pups!

Richard will get at least 80% of a sweater for Christmas.

My kingdom for an airport Taco Mac.

You almost certainly believe there is little overlap between the routines and aspirations of fiction writers and physicists. You are almost certainly wrong. Wrote about the nature of experiments in physics and fiction. aeon.co/essays/how-t...

Our trainer can make us better, but we can also make him worse.

Holiday hack: wear your mouthguard during the day!

This was after she dropped a toy on my face.

I love experiments with overnight steps. Going in the next morning is like going to open christmas presents but then you find out that your present is nothing and didn't work at all.

As a food writer I feel it's important to report that sometimes the solution to your problems is eating as much mac and cheese as physically possible

How am I supposed to work under these conditions

I grated my fingernails and knuckles making dinner tonight. 2024 can end any time!

Pitch deadline is this Wednesday!

My favorite holiday travel ritual is coming home a day early and having a trash Sunday of sleeping in and bar food.

If you follow up the Friday after Thanksgiving you are a criminal.

Very into how this is working up

The pietà if Jesus had a tummy ache from eating a cinnamon roll.

The new McCarthy essay is a true test of whether Bluesky can match the energy of literary Twitter.

I never get over how small these numbers are. Look how easy it is to help out your favorite authors! (And your local bookstores!)

My dad gets it!

Relying on a complicated sweater pattern to squeeze out my brain like a sponge.

I'm knitting Richard a sweater for Christmas, and it's so beautiful that if we get divorced he has to give it back.

Ok I will strive to make this account more science focused but come on:

The girls were just groomed and I wish this post had smell-o-vision.

Introducing myself because my handle is different here (ajshults at the other place). I’m a nonfiction editor at The Rumpus, personal essayist at The Cut, Vox, Romper, and other publications dead and alive, and run content at a VC. I’ll also post about knitting and my dogs, probably.

Earlier this year I didn’t think I’d ever really write or have ideas again the way that I used to, and this week I have for the first time in a long time. I’m not sure if it’s good yet but it’s happening.

This is my husband, who does very cool work and also posts photos of our dogs.
