Can attest that tipsy novel writing is way better than the other types of novel writing. Love this new little joint I've found.

Six-year-old Mary Walker, who flies into inexplicable rages when everything in her immediate environment goes bleepy bloopy bleep blorp, has reportedly been called “a spoiled brat” by helpful well-wishers.

You Just Have to Live Through Grief :: I did not give my kids platitudes. My job was to hold their hands as they traversed that tunnel. I encouraged them to feel their pain (just as I allowed myself to feel my own), and I ensured that they received all of the support they needed.

I'm just looking forward to the rain in Sao Paulo on Sunday. #formula1 #BrazilianGP #maxverstappen #ayrtonsenna

Shame on you, @teenvogue.com for bowing to fascism and firing your top tier political team.

We are honored to receive the @rooseveltinstitute.org's 2025 Four Freedoms Award for Freedom of Speech and Expression, and to be among a stellar class of laureates including @wck.org, @cvt.org, and more. Details: tnvge.co/ZMIUg7v

Teen Vogue has done incredible reporting on issues such as ICE, mask bans, trans rights and Palestine. They’ve had more guts and transparency in their political reporting than most. Hate to see this.

This is a fkn tragedy. @teenvogue.com has been a gift this past decade. I'm crushed by this news.

Excuse me I'm in therapy. #kittens

My first romance series got new pretty covers. Check it out. hollywoodlightsseries.com #authorsofbluesky #blueskyromance #romancesky

How it started. How it's going. Age 11, Age 16. (My kid, not me.) #equestriansofbluesky #blueskyequestrians

for those of you who do not watch #formula1, what on earth do you do on weekend mornings? (No race this week and I'm staring at the ceiling fan.)

Swag from #ItalianGP trip just arrived. I’ll wear it with my #maxverstappen jacket and break everybody’s brains. #LewisHamilton #Ferrari #formula1

Thread.

Max was way chiller than I was about that virtual safety car on the final laps of the #MexicoCityGP. I was screaming. My husband thought I was having an event. #formula1

Pixie and Morgan wish you a happy weekend full of cuddles. #catsofbluesky

This is something I found when writing my latest book, through interviews. Nice to see it getting this type of attention. Yourkidbelongshere.com

How To Quit Things, and Why You Should :: My therapist had me make a list of all the things in my life that were not essential. All of them. And then she told me to start quitting.

I have a migraine that feels like my temples are getting squeezed in a woodworking vise. Gotta get off my screen now, take a lot of drugs, and pass out. For my fellow migraine sufferers:

This is amazing. go @akalhan.bsky.social! #legalsky

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

I was sort of curious to see how ChatGPT would manage this task. So here's my prompt, and the robot's intro email:

The NYT's Michael Grynbaum reported that this is the note that Bari Weiss sent to CBS News staffers this morning (1/2)

Sitting here trying to revise this book which we all know is TORTURE and at the next table is the LOUDEST LOUD TALKER that I have ever encountered. At my age, that's saying something.

This is so TYPICAL

Is this when the dictatorship starts?

Just revised and submitted a new essay. It's always so exciting. Don't remind me that rejections exist I want to feel high for a little while.

Thrilled that new episodes of *the agile academic* podcast for women in higher ed are out! Listen to my conversations with @katiepryal.bsky.social and Katharine Stewart wherever you get your podcasts! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Do people know that anyone can post just about anything on SSRN? Do they know that legal scholarship can be, and often is, pure navel-gazing? No?

How to Position Yourself as a Media Expert :: A few years ago I taught a workshop to writers and academics who wanted to participate in public discourse by putting themselves out there as a media expert. Here's what I taught the participants. I'm sharing this with you now because, especially in…

Thanks for your work, friend.

I was not prepared for his head to turn.

Check out this icon I got to ride last week. Remember: I am 6 feet tall. He makes me look like a hobbit.

YESSSSS

if only Black people went to Klan meetings to debate their humanity

I think generally people need to read up on what “precedent” means. Argh.

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Yeah, yeah. Let me do that!! I'm a trans woman, just let me loose near an evangelical church to debate them, I'm pretty sure a productive debate about transgender rights will result from that!!

Yo, if John Yoo is saying you might be committing war crimes… decent chance you’re committing war crimes

Yesterday, HBCUs Virginia State University, Alabama State University, Southern University, Clark Atlanta University, Hampton University, and Bethune-Cookman University received threats prompting lockdown. Spelman and Morehouse also issued shelter-in-place orders. 1/

Do You Have Trouble Setting Boundaries? (Holidays Edition) :: So, what are “boundaries”? I define them like this: The limits that a person sets, by word or action, on the behavior that they will accept from other people.

So the 4th Amendment is no longer a thing. Also: Can someone check on Roberts.

At #Monza for race day. Can report that #Formula3 is NASCAR driven by 12 year olds. Totally chaotic. Fantastic. #ItalianGP

Uh oh, someone hacked NYT and wrote a good headline

This is real, somehow
