In case you missed it, my latest story dropped yesterday at Sunday Morning Transport!

This one combined my love of a fancy, coursed meal with subtle interpersonal horror. Bon appetite!

There’s been a movie I saw as a kid that I’ve struggled to remember, and I could recall “band aids on necks” and “a bunch of frogs.”

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

This entire piece is very, very good and well worth your time to read — but this bit had me rolling

“People read Foucault,” the redoubtable David Brooks once wrote, in an actual column that I’ve all but committed to memory, “and develop an alienated view of the world.” God, did I love this. An “alienated view of the world”! Not by, like, trying to pay rent or having an insurance claim denied—no, no, it was probably the Foucault you read in 2003.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

If you hate Bad Bunny and aren’t too clear on his citizenship…wow, do I have a novel for you! Boricua to the core. Taíno blood in its heart. Full of history and anticolonialism. Angry as fuck. Dark and full of magic. Bilingüe y sabrosa. Come learn…

Hi everyone from launch day for A Philosophy of Thieves!

Thieves is my 9th novel & it’s launching close to the10-year birthday of my first book, Updraft. To celebrate, I’ve made my monthly craft essay public, with how-to-writer thoughts I’ve picked up over the past decade.
