Imagine shitcanning your career with AI use just to avoid writing a book review.

There's a new place on MacDougal called "What the Falafel" and I am here for it. The name is brilliant. I won't hear anything against it. Also, the food is really good. #nyc

Enjoyed talking some hockey with Ed Park. biblioracle.substack.com/p/talking-ho...

This is indeed a wonderful novel. It approaches a real-life chapter in the life of writer Penelope Fitzgerald with a light touch and gentle humor. It succeeds in being poignant rather than displaying earth-shattering pyrotechnics. 🕯️🦋📖🪷 In another words, both an antidote and a pleasure! #booksky

The Catalan edition of FONSECA is published today. It has dreamy French flaps and gorgeous blue endpapers and I love it. #booksky

Thank you @millayarts.bsky.social for being a haven in all kinds of storms. The artist before me in Barn Studio 4 left this much-needed reminder behind. #booksky #tonimorrison

Following a tip by @isanchezprado.bsky.social just finished Jessica Francis Kane *Fonseca* — the 1950s context of Penelope Fitzgerald in Saltillo, Coahuila reminded me of Sybille Bedford *A Visit to Don Otavio* in Lake Chapala, Jalisco @jfkane.bsky.social 1/

Let’s try not to give up?

Let’s all go see more plays and staged readings. Let’s make more things independently.

You know what’s not controlled by a handful of billionaires? Live theater.

I read this in one big gulp. It’s mesmerizing, and should be at least as well-known as anything by Orwell.

I've been sharing this Adrienne Rich poem with a lot of folks as we move closer to the collapse of first amendment freedoms. Please read, understand, share. It is not an answer. It is, instead, the very question we must ask and keep asking. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51092/...

When a Norwegian writer puts a small event or detail early in their novel that portends something big happening later, that's known as fjordshadowing

I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it!

Really fun to read this out loud.

I loved everything about that halftime show.

Truly he is the Best Bunny.

JUST FOR ONE DAY by my friend @johnofarrell.bsky.social is the story of how Bob Geldof corralled the greatest musicians of a generation to help millions. It has everything a GenX heart like mine could want: humor, irony, nostalgia, optimism. Here’s hoping it transfers to NYC soon!

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley… but I can’t say why. #London #booksky

We have some old American friends staying with us and it is weirdly reassuring to see their take on how the Epstein stuff is impacting the UK. 'Wow, in Britain, you still have consequences for immoral behaviour.'

I love it here so much. #London

I read the book about the repeating day and I did not like it.

How many “shots across the bow“ is it going to take?

An advance look at the cover for next week’s issue: “Targeted,” by Till Lauer.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

To reiterate: (The fact that he had a gun he never drew is immaterial; the videos show that they attacked him before they knew it; they murdered him after they confiscated it.)

This detail from the doctor's eyewitness account: They stood over the body counting the bullet holes. They are monsters.

The mendacity of Kristi Noem is of world historical level - just a thoroughly vile and worthless henchwoman of evil.

if you were like "why a general strike" today (and yesterday and the day before) is why.

Hoodies and machine guns! Jeans and Pom Pom hats! These are not federal agents stop calling them that!

the state police have been deployed to protect the murderer, not the people upset about the murder.

At the very least every Democratic officeholder or candidate should be calling for the impeachment and/or arrest of Noem, Homan, and Bovino. Bare minimum.

Let’s go New Yorkers! Solidarity with Minneapolis.

Nature offering way too literal metaphors

Dear #BookSky Minneapolis has an absolutely incredible literary culture. In fact, three of the most important small presses call the city home; Coffeehouse Press, Graywolf, and Milkweed. There are also a ton of great bookstores in the Twin Cities. So here's the assignment...
