Using a fountain pen lately, which makes me like writing by hand so much more, but my fingers are always ink-blotted.

This is tonight! 8pm CT!

*Heavy sigh.* I don't need to read the A.I. evangelist article in the NYTimes...bc it's in the NYTimes. We can stop normalizing their bullshit by not reading them.

The keyboardist from Faith No More is coming to Riffraff today. That’s my Super Bowl.

this may be the single most insufferable thing about the radical centrist caucus - not just extending good faith to obviously bad faith people but demanding everyone else do the same and chiding them when they don’t

Good morning

It's ok to laugh at the things that hurt you. Gives you power over them. They're not hurting you so bad now, are they?

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

The Winter Olympics are so metal that they looked at skiing and were like, “This isn’t hard enough. Let’s add guns.”

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

I deeply despise people who manipulate neurodivergence into an excuse for cruelty or outright deception.

I’ve blocked this person on email and here, so they’re posting new replies to me through another account. I wasn’t going to name them, but they’re insistent on trying to get around my blocks, so I can dm the email thread to anyone who wants it. If you could block and report, that would be helpful.

I just got the most angry, ridiculous email from a writer *I do not know* bc I politely turned down a writing commitment, and I’m actually shocked. Like, it’s 7am.

It doesn't bother you that abuse is allowed at every level of society & predators get a stamp of approval for destroying lives as our status quo? It bothers people who have been abused. You're not moved by accounts of abuse? Is there a heart inside there?

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Nonfiction Writers! Looking for a summer workshop? I’m excited to be one of the nonfiction faculty at this year’s McCormack Writing Center’s Oregon Summer workshop (formerly Tin House). mccormackwritingcenter.org/oregon-summe... Where else have I facilitated workshops? ⬇️

Oh, you’re an “AI Believer”? Block-ety, block, block, block.

My friend just started emailing me events today bc they know I'm not on Insta, and I really wish that was the real Insta.

Of course we shouldn’t kink shame. But if you are only attracted to women who look young, only desire women with shaved/waxed pubic hair, you need to ask yourself where that desire comes from. Because it’s not from women. And it’s not about us either

I’ve been having some very dark thoughts about the latest Epstein revelations, and they’ve led me to this: we now have proof that patriarchy and men’s sexual appetites are shaped by pedophiles and rapists. Men need to look inward and think hard about why they find certain things sexually appealing

Thank you, Rosa Parks.

Are you guys still using Insta? I left when the stuff about Meta came out, assuming a mass exodus. But I feel like I'm missing lots of things.

kinda stressed out and it seems like tonight’s gonna be an insomnia night so fuck it let’s lean into it and watch INSIDE MAN

Do you remember your favorite books circa 2007? This is a novel research question.

There's nothing hidden to the villainy, despite the masks.

Watching Before Sunrise for the millionth time, strikes me that half of the romance is its ease, two people relaxing into each other all night, almost gently, choosing to be with each other in a sustained way, slowly learning. Does this exist anymore? I mean, that ease?

Things can feel really really really bad and then you spend a half hour talking to someone you've never met or spoken to before who cares about literature and the world and the humans making art in order to survive it and you feel a modicum of hope again

Since last June, I have basically had my antenna up nearly every single day, trying to keep track of where ice is in relation to my loved ones, sometimes searching backward to see if I missed something when a loved one in Southern California isn’t answering phone calls. It is beyond fucked up.
