Was thinking about getting one of those mini computers just for writing. The ones that do nothing but type, like a small, hi tech typewriter. And they cost like twice as much as a normal laptop??

Lit mag friends: I have a couple of undergrads who would be amazing readers for your journal. And one is looking for a summer internship, specifically (for grad hours, unpaid). Anyone have a spot to offer?

DC friends! Come write with me tomorrow morning! We have a nice big group signed up, and we'll have snacks and coffee and laughs and a couple of hours of community. No prerequisites, no expectations. Just ✍️ and ♥️. 2 for 1 tix! Link in the comments. www.eventbrite.com/e/write-now-...

Cover reveal! Excited to share this upcoming anthology I'm in, edited by @samanthapaigerosen.bsky.social and featuring a slew of brilliant essayists! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/816934...

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Connecticut friends!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

Went to the wrong bookstore for my own event, so it's nice to know I still got it. 💅

This Sunday at 2PM at @solidstatebooksdc.bsky.social! Psyched to lead a mini workshop alongside brilliant @mshatter.bsky.social, as well as reading with goddess @kristinatabor.bsky.social and the rest of the crew! Free! Join us! All the exclamation points! www.solidstatebooksdc.com/events/2025/...

Happy happiest of pub days to @ladiwoods.bsky.social and this absolutely wonderful book!

Anybody else hate Amazon even more than usual today? Canvas is fuuuuuucked. 🫠

We are a week away from this reading by Hannah Grieco / @writesloud.bsky.social at Lebanon Valley College! Join us in-person on 10/28 at 7pm Eastern OR join us on Zoom (zoom.us/meeting/regi...). Hannah's collection, FIRST KICKING, THEN NOT (@stanchion.bsky.social) is fantastic. Come through!

Absolutely obsessed with the jewelry heist at the Louvre.

Before AI, if a president wanted to make a video where he dropped poop on protesters, it would cost hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars in effects. Reagan had to do his entirely in stop motion.

I'm rarely found on a list of scholarly work, but excited that our panel on AI in the university writing classroom is getting read!

Today's protest was really inspiring, until I got home and realized I'd misspelled democracy on my sign and nobody told me. 😭

I do not understand why we keep insulting people based on their appearance when we could accurately and appropriately call them Nazi sympathizers, violent misogynists, etc.

I really enjoyed being a part of this panel discussion on AI in the writing classroom. Thank you to the other professors and to @jamestatehill.bsky.social and The Writer's Chronicle for the opportunity! writerschronicle.awpwriter.org/TWC/2025-oct...

It broke my heart to write this poem, and I would give it back if I could reverse my brother's death or my mom's diagnosis. But it doesn't work like that. So I'm trying to open my hands to the joy of having a poem in @thenation.com. Thank you, Kaveh Akbar, et al. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

An Evening with Stanchion #AWP offsite is coming soooo nicely together thanks to the remarkable @writesloud.bsky.social. We have a remarkable space reserved. Truly stunning and absolutely perfect. Please keep 8-10pm on Wednesday March 4 open. You won't want to miss this. 🖤🤍

DC friends: if you're looking for community, accountability, and words on the page- come hang with me this Saturday morning! Snacks and coffee/tea, an optional prompt, a dedicated time to write in a cool place, and a publishing/craft Q&A at the end! www.eventbrite.com/e/write-now-...

When you teach two of the same classes back to back, it's wild how one can feel like slipping into a fuzzy robe and slippers and one can feel like a root canal.

DC friends! Free workshop and reading at Solid State! More info and tickets here: www.eventbrite.com/e/wwph-prese...

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Today we honor National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, recognizing the rich cultures, history, and continued resilience of Native and Indigenous communities. We can’t erase the past. We must acknowledge it and work toward justice.

Really fun reading at the 804 lit salon last night with @michaelbarron.bsky.social , @karenpalmer.bsky.social , @darbyprice.bsky.social @kristinaten.bsky.social Tim Stafford and @writesloud.bsky.social !! It was a lovely evening to hear from a bunch of talented folks.

Sometimes you read Nina and everyone just stares at you. Sometimes you read Nina & the audience gets her & you. Huge thanks to @laurenwoods.bsky.social and @andrewbertaina.bsky.social at 804 Lit Salon, & the whole crowd, for being that audience that gets us. ICYM her: wigleaf.com/202505nina.htm

Sunday morning with @writesloud.bsky.social

NY friends, come hang November 16th! @camilleuadams.bsky.social @michelleghenry.bsky.social @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social @raxkingisdead.bsky.social @saralippmann.bsky.social @katetooley.bsky.social

Wanna hear some good news? My college students are using gen AI way less this year than in previous years. They LIKE drafting by hand, and their typed work is full of human heart (and errors). It's a huge shift. ❤️

Bookshop is having a sale to counter Prime Day! What a great opportunity to buy this cool new book I heard about. bookshop.org/p/books/firs...

Just opened an abandoned desktop folder and found the beginnings to three short stories I'd completely forgotten about. And they're pretty good?? Thank you, 2024 me. 🥹

NY friends, come hang November 16th! @camilleuadams.bsky.social @michelleghenry.bsky.social @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social @raxkingisdead.bsky.social @saralippmann.bsky.social @katetooley.bsky.social
