Here I am laughing in joy during the beautiful book launch for TERRY DACTYL at the Seattle Art Museum, thank you all!!!! And, get ready for my upcoming events in New York, DC, Baltimore, and Portland, please spread the word, and let's continue this magic 💕💕💕

Amazing review of THE ENDLESS WEEK in The Washington Post today! "It’s rare to encounter a book as feral and lovely as THE ENDLESS WEEK, one equally fluent in the comedy and the horror of the world — and the word." www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/1...

MIT President Sally Kornbluth just issued a statement to the campus community saying NO to Trump’s authoritarian compact “And fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”

I wrote about how the road to fascism is paved with false equivalencies. lithub.com/the-real-thr...

Couldn’t be happier that the Nobel has gone to Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Back in 2012 I tried to astroturf a movement claiming him as the Next Big Thjng but it didn’t take off because he’s too difficult www.theguardian.com/books/2012/j...

Honey, look, it's a gorgeous final copy of TERRY DACTYL, out on November 11 from @coffeehousepress.bsky.social🎉🎉🎉 Book launch on Saturday, October 25, 3 pm at the Seattle Art Museum, and you can preorder signed copies from Elliott Bay Book Company, or preorder from your favorite indie, get ready 💎⚡✨

To have a new novel coming out by @patrickcottrell.bsky.social is thrilling. I love the cover; I am also very jealous of the title! people.com/patrick-cott...

rachel cusk describes a man eating a huge amount of ice cream

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

so excited to announce that my second novel, ALL US SAINTS, is out next year from Bloomsbury ✨ it's about family, art, and the way a closeted trans girl's act of desperation is permanently warped in the cis imagination

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

🖤

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

I don’t think we understand: Elon Musk is the most powerful man in the world, by far. Not just because of his money. But because of his access and control of all data at every possible point. He locked government officials out of their computers yesterday. Now this:

Once someone starts talking about what “can’t happen” in the USA because of checks and balances, it’s best to stop listening to them.

Dear humans, Just wanted to share something I've been quiet about, in the year of my loud self-doubt, with gratitude to @sarabandebooks.bsky.social and to many others whom I look forward to thanking in the coming months, MY HERESIES, forthcoming in April 2025.🖤 www.sarabandebooks.org/all-titles/p...

i literally never understood the optimism about a team built around paul george and joel embiid, two of the least reliable, most playoff-disappointing stars of the modern era

The great Lena Khalaf Tuffaha @lenakt.bsky.social just won the National Book Award for Poetry, for Something about Living. You can get it @openpoetrybooks.bsky.social, where all proceeds go to HEAL Palestine, providing essential aid, healthcare, educational resources to Palestinian youth: t.ly/Sqvw2
