So good. As always. The hard realities and “math” of home economics and career starts for writers/book-people of color. Also I had the privilege of getting the @kategavino illustration treatment back in 2016!

Massive thanks to @kategavino for talking about her #graphicnovel, A CAREER IN BOOKS, out next Tuesday from @PlumeBooks, the hard realities for #entrylevel roles in #publishing and prioritizing convos around economics and mental health when it comes to work!

I thought Nope was really, really good. There's my review.

Rarely tweet much about new films but feeling energized to evangelize a little about this. A massive budget blockbuster with genuinely Interesting Themes, full of bold visual/sonic ideas, blessed by terrific performances, and— absolutely crucially—minimal exposition/hand-holding.

My 15 seconds of “fame” with this novel—the hardest thing I’ve ever done (novel#2)—was the most gratifying of my life: the team and fellow authors @RelegationBooks made it gold. I hope you’ll check out The Loved Ones and all the other titles if you haven’t already.

Yeah.

I’m sick of living in unprecedented times.

May you find or create spaces where all of your layers are welcome - where you don’t find yourself diluting your amazing flavor.


Even more can't wait to see #FireIslandMovie

Okay, I just added a corollary to the Bechdel test: Two men talking to each other about the female protagonist of an Alice Munro story in a screenplay structured on a Jane Austen novel = pass. #FireIsland #BechdelTest

Nothing about any of this is in the realm of the rational. 😣

Wild how wearing a simple mask is "living in fear,"—but forcing our kids to wear bulletproof backpacks behind bulletproof doors & bulletproof windows while allowing open carry AR-15s, unlimited ammo, & body gear because the govment's gonna getcha, is perfectly rational "freedom."
