…it should break your heart to kill.

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

Keith Urban — what an unsurprising disappointment

Trying to figure out how we’re feeling about Aggie Wiggs fits in The Beast in Me….

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

All these pedophiles with access to big time security tech bros just … emailing all this shit.

Facts

Their fair share would be WHAT THE REST OF US PAY. Most people pay up to 37%. Billionaires pay around 1%. You’re just saying words that make it clear you love billionaires and the suffering of the working class.

He might be an effective media irritant to Trump but Newsom is a loser and will never be president.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

Absolute queen

When this is over, we burn it down. Ballroom and all.

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

alt hed: President confirms he is full of shit.

Why does the government need private jets is maybe a question we should be asking.

“And then it came, the realization that—at least in my mind—79 years old was so young for a famous rich white woman in America like Diane Keaton and that 78 years old was practically a miracle for a black trans woman like Miss Major.”

Every time I watch a debate I am struck by how old most political candidates are.

This is it.

I hope when you’re out looking at the moon, you’re sending that good light to Dolly ❤️‍🩹

Have y’all seen the new drummer for Rush? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well done Zach Bryan

Some of you don’t girl boss too close to the moon and it shows

All these Joe Rogan types who are now crying —“this isn’t what we voted for” need to use their gd platforms LOUDLY to get us out of the mess they got us into.

Oh nothing just being destroyed by the Lilith Fair doc on a Sunday afternoon

This week at an event for THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, a reader asked in a gracious and cheeky way what I would hope white readers in particular would get out of the book. Or more directly, what I would TELL white readers. And this was basically my answer: African-Americans are experts on America.

Seriously tho— all this AI at their disposal and this is the best they can do? Lyrics: Kid Rock probs

My amazing wife @debbiemillman.bsky.social has an essay in the NYT today about how Trump is imposing his brand on American democracy www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/o...

Government officials are speaking the language of abusers. “Look what you made us do.” “If you would’ve let us do what we wanted, it wouldn’t be so bad.” “You deserved it.” They’re tapping into layers of trauma and deep systemic power imbalances. We have to lift each other up. Stand together.💙

The idea that the presence of strong emotion(s) disputes the validity of a person’s argument is at the core of what’s harming us all.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

A good time to re-read this Lucille Clifton poem, always a good time.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

No one has ever been more correct. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The only take you need on the subject. Lethal winners. Goddam.

It means accepting the reality that nobody has more information about me than me, nobody cares about what’s happening inside me more than me, and I am my own. I love myself because I’m the best possible person to have on my side.

Only one thing I love more than poetry. Riggs forever 💛

A character assassin funded by Scooter Braun ruins the reputations and careers of women and the media goes along with it… every time.
