Thank you so much, Jeff!

Really loved BEINGS by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social, with its intricate threading of lives and the speculative. Beautifully written and deeply perceptive! Available now! bookshop.org/p/books/bein...

What a thrill to return to @youaregood.bsky.social to talk about ET!!!

NEW EPISODE! In which @ilanaslightly.bsky.social, author of Beings, joins us to discuss empathy, aliens and nonbinary icon E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. @riverbutcher.bsky.social co-hosts!

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

So grateful to @gabriellekorn.bsky.social and @autostraddle.bsky.social for this <3

"Masad blends meticulously well-researched history with lyrical invention, weaving a braided narrative that asks with urgency and tenderness: are any of us ever truly alone?"

Thank you, Maris and Maggie, for your service in these dark times <3

I am doing a round of We Want You To Have This TOMORROW MORNING at 9AM mountain time. If you are trans in the US and want a gift from my shop but cannot afford it, or if you have a trans loved one you would like a gift for, I will have 20 available. Details in thread. nora.jewelry/pages/we-wan...

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Thank you so much to @ncpiehl.bsky.social for this lovely review over at @bookreporter.bsky.social!!!

"But through voice, technique and format, Masad manages to make each [narrative] distinct, memorable and more than worthy of readers' attention."

They tell us to leave, but where do we go when every place is a target? Families move in circles, running from death that follows everywhere. My family has lost everything but faith that someone will care enough to help us.
please donate to save us💔🙏🏻

Thank you, So <3. I hope it will!

It's such a great time to have a book published 🤓

I feel like that coast is sort of canonically damp TT___TT

Got to visit @allshewrotebks.bsky.social and @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social at @portershed.bsky.social on Friday, what a joy!

Which coast??

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

Actually it's not the last bookstore it's just the last one this week, I'm a silly goose and very tired 😅

Thank you SO much, Stephen! This is so lovely to hear <3 <3 I really appreciate you reading and telling me!

Last bookstore event on my book tour is tonight at 7pm at @portersqbooks.bsky.social with @queerhistoryboston.bsky.social! Come on through?

For @electricliterature.com, I wrote about milk, marketing, and making art (or boobs, books, and being a product):
