Just learned that my former professor, friend, and mentor Stephanie Vaughn, has died. For those unaware, Stephanie's book SWEET TALK is one of the greatest American story collections, up there with the likes of JESUS' SON. This is the justly famous intro of her story "Dog Heaven"

I love this story by @parkeryoung.bsky.social joylandpublishing.com/fiction/pedi...

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

A day after a federal judge ruled that ICE can’t use “tear gas, pepper spray, or other weapons against journalists.”

I finally got a chance to write one of my dream assignments, an in depth evaluation of Daniel Day-Lewis, an actor whose achievements and methods cast a long shadow over the field, and whose work is often misunderstood. slate.com/culture/2025...

I’ve been offline the last week but I’m glad to hear people enjoyed a photograph somebody else took and shared, of my old idea that I had, for clout. I love that for them. Buy my album veryimportant.lawyer

SHAGGY: like zoinks, scoob, what're you reading? SCOOBY: *halfway through underworld* ron rerillo eeheehee

Worst thing to happen to book crit was getting mercilessly synced to pub dates. writer gets 97% of the coverage they're ever getting by the end of week 2, & if the book is widely reviewed (positive or not) in prestige places some of your would-be audience burns out on takes & skips the book itself.

I'm convinced that I've just read the best novel of 2025 and it should come as no surprise that @alexhigley.bsky.social wrote it
