Levels unlocked in therapy today: unironically quoted Grey’s Anatomy and explained “tenderqueer”

WE'RE BACK and we're 25! 😍

I am so glad to get to be in conversation about this with these brilliant favorite writers in a couple of weeks in LA. Come dream with us? ✨

Hi! Any anti-Zionist Jewish writers out there attending AWP, not full up on panels, and potentially interested in last-minute joining one?

Tonight! Hudson Valley friends, hope to see you there! 💛

I am gay and and a good time and available for your AWP offsites.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Dispatches from my boyfriend

So grateful to have been a part of this beautiful project. ❤️

I'm so looking forward to this!

My workplace is hiring! Come be on my team! It's a very humane workplace and they have been very supportive of my writing life. This is a job to apply for if you have extensive administrative/executive assistant (5 yrs) + supervisory (2 yrs) experience. bellwether.org/careers/?gh_...

It’s Small Business Saturday and I’m happy to recommend books to anyone who promises to buy them from an indie shop or Bookshop. To start, my favorite novel of 2023 is in paperback now. bookshop.org/p/books/ente...

Maybe you are thinking "wow that giant chaotic family meal gave me a great idea for a chaotic scene in the novel or story I am drafting!" If so, maybe you want to sign up for this @tinhouse.bsky.social virtual craft intensive on 12/8 to write parties with me! Register here.

She, too, is king.

Please make these calls today. Let’s flood their phone lines for an arms embargo ahead of tomorrow’s historic vote. www.jvp.org/stopweapons

She is king.

If you see your House Rep on this list, call them tomorrow morning and demand a No vote on HR 9495. Yes, we just voted on this. But now, they don’t need a super majority so w/ all these yeses, it will pass, putting any nonprofit at risk based on “a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing” -ACLU

Now is not the time to abandon our creative projects about ideas and people that make the world richer and more truthful and more reflective of our communities. They want us to do that, that is their goal. We will not do it.

Guys, big news. Boyfriend has arrived, and boy does he have some hyena content for you.

My father’s family shared a two-family home with Elvis Presley and his parents when my dad was a baby. Elvis held him when he was born. My bubbe and Gladys used to have coffee, and bubbe used to speak fondly of young E, saying “he was the finest fellow you want to know.”

this flash & short fiction writers starter pack filled up incredibly quickly (150 is the max, and I guess there are a lot of us). Anyway share if you're into short and flash fiction! go.bsky.app/53R6ziA

Realized this week that my new novel is populated entirely by bisexuals.

Here’s hoping this is a decent afterparty!

Tour events for CITY OF LAUGHTER (& stay tuned for Philly + Hudson dates soon)! I'd love to see you in DC, Baltimore, Providence, and of course, NY. Cannot *wait* to chat folklore with absolute faves @marawilson.bsky.social , @addieisunwieldy.bsky.social , Rebekah Bergman, & Danielle Evans. 💕

So delighted that CITY OF LAUGHTER is included on this list by beloved literary icon @gregmania.bsky.social and alongside so many favorites and friends! 💕

Hello. Hi. Yes. I have read @temim.bsky.social's CITY OF LAUGHTER and it is *gorgeous.* It's haunting, life-affirming, and bursting with love and beauty. And I think you should have it. bookshop.org/p/books/city...

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

Reskeet if you're gay and tired

I honestly can't hear it any other way, though in my mind Bluesky is the last name of a grizzled Jewish detective in a niche noir novel I probably want to read.

Very ready for this energy.

Favorite recipes for salads that have the personality of an actual whole dinner? I'm retiring my oven effective immediately.

Please support Yu and Me books as they work to recover from the fire in their building!

a word to the wise is, don't put a 1000 piece puzzle in a free box on a brooklyn sidewalk before a rainstorm! (I was not the wise, but I am now certainly the wise)

We call her Snarly Simon.

I was going to say I feel somewhat superstitious about this first tweet, but then I thought oh no, I’m superstitious about it AND I have no idea what to call it.
