As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

the Milwaukee Brewers made it to the NLCS after a run of five first-round playoff exits. I published my debut novel this year after my own long losing streak. I am just saying WE CAN BUILD ON THIS 😤

my book has been for less than two months, and I am very grateful it is out there, and also wow, this hits hard.
I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Book 43 of 2025: THE COVER GIRL by @mossyair.bsky.social. Spent half the day in bed finishing this gut-punch of a novel about a teen model in the 1970s and her relationship with a much older rockstar—and her gradual, painful realization that “relationship” is the wrong word. What a debut! 📚👀

my friends and i did a 16-pasta tournament bracket last night and i am still over the fact that they all hate rigatoni and that a line noodle won (pappardelle, so the best one, but still)

it’s just that I’m already at max capacity for feeling bad about what I look and sound like!
I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!
