deleted the viral tweet because going viral makes me feel like scrambled eggs but thanks for the love, I’ll tell uncle bob yall are big fans lol

have you signed up for Mac’s Tin House class yet? what are you waiting for?!

my 3 year old’s fav song is holy by j biebs & chance the rapper & this morning, he wanted me to play the song on my phone, put my phone in his backpack, & let him roll up to school like that.

Huh. What’s the common denominator here? Who could say? Such a mystery. 🧐

In the mood for a good Sci-Fi story? Check out these three books in the New Book Section of the AAC! 🚀👽🌌

1) ‘Sea of Tranquility’ by Emily St. John Mandel
2) ‘Future’ by Naomi Alderman
3) ‘I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself’ by Marisa Crane

just noticed I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself has over 5k ratings on the hellsite—much love to all the gays & theys & parents who read & shared, anyone who has ever experienced the long shadow of grief, of shame, of depression, anxiety, & loss

kinda sad I haven’t found the right home for this essay about Bluey, identify, parenting, & basketball

galley brag!!!! 😈😈😈 Morgan Talty

FYI I wrote a novel about, among other things, oppression, shame, & isolation, specifically for a queer mother & her child, who *gasp* exists in public spaces & isn’t always perfectly well behaved according to everyone’s standards

all the people tweeting about wanting to enjoy a beer at a brewery without toddlers screaming & running around: sure, but without a doubt, the most horrible, obnoxious, & awful people I’ve encountered at breweries (& everywhere else) have always been adults lol hope this helps

weird to see the occasional 'feminist' account that also joins in on the 'hating kids remove them from public life' stuff not even just because of the impact on mothers (important in and of itself) but genuine feminist projects must contend with 'children' as an oppressed class

would like to be able to get a walk-in top surgery like a tattoo please

I can’t stop thinking about this poem by
Vievee Francis, from The Shared World.

It will now live inside of me for the rest of it.

I want to die in Gaza. I'm not very interested in my life, but please don't let me see my three deaf sisters die in front of me. Please help us evacuate them from Gaza. There isn't much money left to evacuate them. Please donate and share the campaign.

trans history, not as a form of legitimacy—we should matter no matter what—but as a form of connection, of reaching our hands through time

Anyone have a full list of the authors who’ve withdrawn from PEN prizes? Organizing a display at the bookstore and want to be completely representative.

if you need me i’ll be gazing into the unbelievable mystery hole

if you are just getting into womens basketball & love dazzling point guards, watch Chelsea Gray on the Vegas Aces immediately—she’s the greatest point guard of our time & her nickname isn’t the Point Gawd for no reason

I withdrew my work from consideration for the Jean Stein Award. I can't align myself w/ a human rights org that waits 5 months to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, while platforming zionists & pretending there's nuance to genocide.
