Gift article! I loved reading Chris Jackson's article in Lithub and also in What Editors Do (published a while ago, but a newer discovery for me).

This Lithub post by @maris.bsky.social about going to the Texas Book Festival and ending up in the midst of an anti-vax MAHA convention has a real Hunter S. Thompson quality to it. I'd read another couple of thousand words on this freakshow.

not LitHub doing my “who will miss Twitter the most” from 2023 but with an actual budget 😭

The harm of AI: LitHub says AI is "stealing our stories for training data, siphoning readers towards garbled AI summaries instead of our website, and generally making everything a little worse." Ponder that when you consult ChatGPT, Claude or your favorite online answer machine.

Just sat down & in one four-hour sitting, I wrote a 3,000 word essay abt my friendship w Alice for LitHub.

I've never thought writers should write obits in advance—not just bc it's ghoulish, but bc the best writing you generally do comes from this kind of honest feeling.

Goodnight from Kampala.

I just realized there is a @literaryhub.bsky.social URL called

"https://lithub.com/author/wongthrasher/"

and I think I am going to start crying all over again
A screenshot of the LitHub. the URL says https://lithub.com/author/wongthrasher/" - the subject is "Steven W. Thrasher and Alice Wong," over a photo of journalists standing over dead journalists and the headline "A Letter supporitng Six honorable Journalsits in Northwen Gaza"

I was surprised to see this because all I knew about 831 Stories before was that they were interviewed on the LitHub podcast. FWIW (and I still don't know anything more), this is the host's response: bsky.app/profile/drew...

just don't read the NYT! even when they write about something good & cool (and I genuinely think 831 Stories is good & cool—I can guarantee (with receipts!) that their pitch is getting more people INTO romance & reading in general) they do so in such a way as to piss off the most people possible.

Firefox works well for me and helps with providing just text from an article:
Screenshot of lithub in Firefox mobile app: lithub.com Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani Peter Coviello November 7, 2025 13 - 17 minutes It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a student there, who maybe resided only on the far periphery of your professional orbit, will become one or another kind of famous. At that point, out of the vast and silent ether, messages will come glowing into your inbox one after another. Do you remember this person? they will say. Was he your student? Did you work with him? We’re hoping for some insight—would it be possible for us to talk for a bit? I taught at a place called Bowdoin College for 16 years, and during the last of those there was a student in attendance you’ve perhaps heard of. His name is Zohran Mamdani. And so, shortly after his startling, spirit-lifting victory in the primary last spring, the gentle flood of inquiries commenced. Word had gotten out not only that he went to Bowdoin—again, a very pricey, very wealthy, quite comprehensively the-thing
