Got to write about Weapons’ spookiest subtext for @electricliterature.com

agh this is so good

Congratulations, Roy! I’m excited to have a new book from you to look forward to!!

Really well! Although not quickly :) How’s yours going?

Congratulations! I can’t wait to read it!

I’ve been getting tons of them but I’ve been ignoring it—should I be deleting them?!

I *loved* it! The bewilderment of early post-divorce is so specific & you capture it brilliantly.

Damn, this is so good.

This story is so good!!

Agh it’s the worst!!

Thank you!!

Maybe an existential flash about mushrooms will help

to be clear: they’re beneficial insects, so if they’re in an area where they can safely be left alone, nothing needs to be done! i had to deal with mine because the nest was in an unavoidable location and people and pets were getting stung.

i dealt with this last year! DIY wasp traps are pretty effective (they like meat 😩 - you basically bait them into drowning). or you can go after the nest itself if you’re brave enough (or have the ability to hire a pest control professional). whatever you do, do it ASAP—the colony will keep growing!

Biased but the @katiehrob.bsky.social piece in this issue is 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much!

So thrilled to be a part of this amazing issue! anmly.org/ap40/maria-r... 🍄‍🟫🐕🍄

Oh, Matt, I’m so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending care to you and your family ♥️

I haven’t been posting about soup but that doesn’t mean i haven’t been making it.

(This post both 100% is and 100% is not about soup.)

I had this one in Wigleaf last summer 🌓 wigleaf.com/202406lex.htm

Oh this is terrific!

I only took this screenshot to see what he was reading—now I’m stuck with a shirtless therapist!

I love this essay!

my dream for us all is a future where if i were to acontextually post

this shit is so fucked.

it wouldn’t make immediate sense to you

I got my winter hat in 2005, off a children’s clearance rack in the Seasonal Items aisle of a Stop & Shop. It has lived in four different states and two continents. It is perhaps my one true love. 😂

Back at you, @wigleaf.bsky.social ✨🤩💫

Top-tier late-December vibes in Anne Waldman’s “Seasonal Poem” (from the Dec. 13 issue of JSTOR Daily daily.jstor.org/merry-christ...)

Tonight’s soup: broccoli, cheddar, and white bean purée with homemade wholegrain mustard croutons.

Kinda early but I’m calling it: best thing I read today.

This is an incredible piece of journalism, and another reminder that healthcare should not be for profit (and neither should news).
