Very weird but also very proud to log on and see video of my sister-in-law being arrested for standing up for what’s right.

I think we have 10 tickets left for this

My very good buddy and overall sweet little guy Fisher took a bad tumble this morning and is racking up medical bills. I know times are tough, but if you can spare a few bucks for his recovery we would be so grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/fisher-rec...

Unrelated to pretty much everything everyone in my feed is talking about, but it's lit fest season, and it's a great time to get out there and take advantage of it/support the arts. 1000wordsofsummer.substack.com/p/its-lit-fe...

really proud to be part of this as florida’s rep leader for authors against book bans!

Forever hope to be known as “a man, mid-pastrami” @jasondiamond.bsky.social

Periodic reminder that we at @mcsweeneys.net ’s have no writing staff (save for the great @shadesofgreaves.bsky.social), and rely on unsolicited submissions for our humor & satire. We respond to each every submission within 7.39 days (but usually much sooner). www.mcsweeneys.net/pages/guidel...

I’m not going to overdo it with the posts about my book but I was profiled by The Forward and the headline sums it all up. forward.com/culture/book...

Unbelievable opportunity here. If you're writing a novel and not applying to this, you're a FOOL.

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

Florida says AMEN.

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

Look there has been no official word on why all our salt trucks are out. But Chicago having all our Salt trucks blocking street access while ICE is trying to invade our city is just perfection. We are the City of Big Shoulders; we are also a poem.

We're excited to co-sponsor the Chicago Release of @jasondiamond.bsky.social's "Kaplan's Plot"! Join us on September 19 at Volumes Bookcafe for a can't-miss conversation between Jason & @jamiattenberg.bsky.social! www.eventbrite.com/e/jason-diam...

Time for everyone to read Ross in @theoffingmag.bsky.social! theoffingmag.com/fiction/a-ma...

Went to buy something at my local bookstore and they said “your books came in.” It took a second to realize they meant MY book. I haven’t gotten my copies yet so it was my first time seeing them. I bought one and they’re not on sale yet so I think I got the first copy of my own book.

please help us spread the word about this mentorship opportunity for writers of color & share it with anyone you think might be interested!

why are they trying to kill everyone in florida

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I am tired of the circumstances of my life being determined by men on the brink of non-existence who think they’ll never die if they have enough power.

I went long on Arundhati Roy and the monsters of 1980s NYC in my latest newsletter. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...

Would someone write a think piece connecting the lines between the new Liz Gilbert, All Fours and Dying for Sex so I can read it, thank you

Got excited about fall, recommended some books! 1000wordsofsummer.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel. 1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts. A page at a time comes together quickly

HAPPY BAD got a starred review from Kirkus 🥲 www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

3 years ago today. released.

Speaking of Chicago. I asked an artist from there I’m obsessed with named Jaz Rodriguez to make a poster for the September 19th event I’m doing at Volumes with @jamiattenberg.bsky.social.

Joined Michel Martin on NPR’s Morning Edition to discuss the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...

People are in motion everywhere and no one action is "the silver bullet." That means that there are many many things to join and that you don't know what will make THE difference. No one thing will. That's actually OK.
