For a story, I’m looking to talk ASAP with someone who always runs late, like me, AND who has decided to lean into it without shame, particularly at work, in an IRL office with a 9-5-style job. You can use a pseudonym! I only need 1 more source. Please share!

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Too overwhelmed to attend AWP! I’ve never been. 😂

For an upcoming writing project, I’m interested in talking to fellow neurodivergent peeps about their obsessions, their special interests, their most favorite topics. If this is you, comment, DM, reach out via website!

Did you know that a fun little thing I like to do is make pots to match my friends’ books? For Jiordan Castle’s DISAPPEARING ACT and @kwistent.bsky.social’s THE SUN WON’T COME OUT TOMORROW!

On the left, Jiordan Castle’s book Disappearing Act and a yellow and pink planter to match. On the right, Kristen Martin’s book The Sun Won’t Come Out Tomorrow and a yellow and blue planter to match

I have a short essay in KHÔRA‘s Issue 41 about bodies and pain and control (uplifting!). Thank you @leighherenow.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.corporealkhora.com/issue/41/dee...

Update: We raised $250 in the pottery auction, which I will donate across 4-5 GoFundMe campaigns for Black families affected by the fires in Altadena. Feels good to do even a little something from so far away. Thanks to all who bid!

I’m auctioning some pottery, with proceeds going to some of the Black families affected by the fires in Altadena. I will disperse funds across as many GoFundMe campaigns as possible. app.galabid.com/potterylafires

Delighted that Adam asked me to recommend a book for this list, and of course I had to write about the book I pressure all my friends to read and discuss, Rhaina Cohen’s THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT OTHERS!

I know it’s a busy news week, and we’ll probably hear less and less about the fires, but this is a chance to get away from all that and help, plus own some cool and funky pots! Auction closes on Thursday!

2024 will forever be the year in which I sold my first book, bought my first house, first confronted my cat Deacon’s life-threatening illness, & had more migraine days than not for the first time. It was more than I could manage, & yet I have, thanks to the incredible people in my life.
