My book came out a year ago today. I tried as best as I could to create a level of depth in the reader’s access to each character’s interior world. If you like that kind of narrative intimacy, give my book a try! @malarkeybooks.bsky.social malarkeybooks.com/store/firstaid

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

never expected to be a grown man excited for a new Predator movie but here I am

I will invent a website that doesn't use cookies

Okay, I'm gonna be at the @malarkeybooks.bsky.social table at AWP in Baltimore, so y'all need to find me, hang out, buy books, and make me look cool so Alan doesn't regret sending me!

give me the name of the squirrel who did this to you

Halloween is a special day set aside for wearing costumes, eating candy, and reading my werewolf story maudlinhouse.net/how-to-write...

shaved my beard for the first time since 2016

narrator in @alexmiller77.bsky.social novel is not a writer but he is directionless, has terrible friends, has no idea what he wants, and is incapable of dealing with his problems—he is *spiritually* a writer

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

the only Cuomo who deserves your vote for mayor of New York

welcome to your new nightmare www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

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.

vegetable-carving season

Could go for a thick pint of Garnier Fructis

"How do we get back the men we lost to Trump, Andrew Tate, and the Proud Boys?" Please do not bring those weird ****ers over here. We have kids over here. I will call Child Services.

back on my bullshit (writing novels)

ok, here's one you cowards: Kurt Vonnegut is the most creative and innovative postmodern writer of his cohort and people who don't like him are just mad that 15 year olds dig his novels

might snow tonight

getting some writing done at this cabin in the mountains. Also cooking a bunch of steaks and drinking too much. I'm all about balance

Good morning. Here is the cover, designed by @johnchrostek.com, for @trentbwrites.bsky.social’s forthcoming novel, The Walls Are Closing In On Us, which you can, which you should because it’s good, preorder now! malarkeybooks.com/store/thewal...

Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

And God said, Let there be metadata in the compile dialogue in Scrivener

just amazing to think about what the Biden administration could have accomplished if it hadn't elevated the interests of wealthy centrist Democratic donors over the lives of Palestinians

Can't explain it but this is "The Life of a Showgirl"

So cruel and barbaric. "Family separation is one of several ways in which the US government is, increasingly, moving immigrants around the country – shuffling detainees through a vast, chaotic system that advocates say is intentionally cruel." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Really enjoyed this satire of the beauty-industrial complex. Natural Beauty is a thriller that reads like literary fiction 💙📚
