It was such a total dream to record @thisqueerbook.com and and I was truly blown away that Jordy Rosenberg joined and that we got to chat about their debut, one of my favorite books, Confessions of the Fox. We also dip into my upcoming novel, Beings, as well as research and queers in history.

Toronto folks! I’m launching TALL WATER at @anotherstoryto.bsky.social with @thisstoryaintover.bsky.social and @harpercollinsca.bsky.social on August 10!

Hi, I’d love to be added

I keep getting interview requests to talk about AI and teaching, and I keep saying no, because it's just so fucking boring. How many times can a person say, "It's a bad idea, and a grift, and a technology built on the stolen work of the very people you imagine doing this AI-assisted teaching?" Blah.

Starter pack for #literaryfiction writers to find each other! Comment/repost and I'll add you go.bsky.app/ARue8c8

Call your senators if you haven’t and urge them to support Senator Sanders’s effort here.
