I mean, I’d go with things in the water that you can’t see and they’re touching you but I guess to each their own

There is more to say, but for now let me tell you how proud I am of our Columbia Journalism students, whom I've watched report non-stop for days, sleep on floors, support one another & give their all to bearing witness under dire conditions: pulitzer.org/news/statement… The Pulitzer Prizes

Me: Hey APD, I’m being robbed!

APD: Sorry bro, hour-long wait on all 911 calls because of the defund movement. (Even though we were never defunded.l LOL.)

Me: There are unarmed students exercising their right to free speech and protest on public property.

I just tapped a piece of paper to wake it up. Someone please come take my phone away.

Applaud the poets! We are so amazed by the young talent at this year’s #Verselandia ! Youth Poetry Slam championship! Congratulations to the winners and ALL the incredible poets who shared their voices with us last night. 🎤💫 (thread 🧵)

Unbelievable that Supreme Court justices who see forgiving student loans, mandating vaccines, and regulating climate change as a slippery slope toward tyranny were not clear-eyed on questions of whether a president could execute citizens or stage a coup without being prosecuted.

I logged on to get my regular dose of anger and despair about the state of the world, and ended up getting attacked for my day job instead. (Okay, not instead. In addition to.)

Some personal news: The 43-year-old debut novelist has logged on. Coming soon from Flatiron Books.

*A Black man was viciously beaten by Nazis in a parking garage

*A Nazi drove his car into a crowd of people, murdering one and wounding many others

If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a meal or a flight, imagine how serious it would be if a Supreme Court justice heard cases related to an election his wife had tried to overturn.

All I ever wanted was for someone smart to perceive my novel and so for Anna Kornbluh to say this about Mobility is overwhelming. I can face a million horrendous goodreads reviews knowing this is in the world.

'Agustín Fernández Mallo’s rapturous, postapocalyptic study of love is, at its core, a study of us all.' Laura Garmeson reviews THE BOOK OF ALL LOVES by Agustín Fernández Mallo, tr. Thomas Bunstead, for @thetls: the-tls.co.uk/articles/the-b…

I borrowed a book from the library that I was super excited to read, sat down with it, and realized that I’d already read it and liked it very much a few years ago. I guess my taste remains reliable even if my memory isn’t.

It's pub day for this book of my heart. I'm very grateful to everyone who has helped me bring it into the world, and I hope you will read it. ❤️
