‘Yellowstone,’ Leave Bella Hadid Out of This Whatever “this” is, let the model enjoy her cowgirl life in peace.

woke up, watched the latest yellowstone episode, immediately wrote this www.elle.com/culture/movi...

some conversations this morning have me wondering: book folks, what do you wish there were more of in how books are covered? and by that I mean: lists? reviews? columns? themed essays? straight-up recommendations? something else I've never thought of?

december is just a haze of blurbs. constant blurb writing. i know i’ll eventually finish all my end-of-year list blurbs, but until then the word “blurb” itself is going to feel like a spell someone cast on me

me but with fanfiction in high school

adrienne is an absolute force to be reckoned with, in the books business and beyond. hearst and esquire are worse off without her taste and curation, as well as her reporting and editing skills. but, knowing her talents, i look forward to seeing her remarkable work elsewhere.

WGA East Slams “Anti-Union” Hearst Following Another Round Of Layoffs: “Needless, Irresponsible, And Cruel” The WGA East called Hearst's latest round of layoffs "needless, irresponsible, and cruel"

a guy in college once tried to convince me and a room full of other women that ariana grande can’t actually sing, and i still think about this when i need a good long laugh

fascinating to see which media brands have quickly formulated bluesky strategies and which remain (stubbornly? naively?) focused on twitter

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

intelligent social media discourse??? i thought that was a myth

a few lines i can’t stop thinking about from kaveh akbar’s excellent book MARTYR, feat. photos with my dog

i mean, it’s certainly not helping!!

i know there are many, many terrible things happening right now BUT i am genuinely so excited for the national book awards this week

working on my book this afternoon, then rewarding myself with a trip to the library, and then hopefully not having one single additional conversation about jake paul

Complimentary

my eye has been twitching since election day … i know it’s a psychosomatic response but it makes me feel like a cliche cartoon character. anyway!!

in the literal five minutes i’ve been scrolling through bluesky tonight i’ve laughed more times than in the months i’ve spent on threads

Sorry but all the fables and fairy tales I read as a kid led me to believe people would be learning WAY more lessons than they actually do

for anyone trying to extricate yourself from the clutches of Amazon: bookstores make more than a third of their money between now & New Year’s, & most bookstores ship nationwide 💌

like everyone, i’m always yearning for the Once and Future Platform but it’s never been more apparent to me that reality and information and art increasingly live in 100000 separate ecosystems at once. alas!

back here again!! exhausted!! but always ready to talk about books!!

Women Creatives Thought Hollywood Could Change. Were They Wrong? Behind the camera, prospects for gender parity remain bleak—so these women are fighting to reverse course.

spent the past few months reporting this story about women, hollywood, the strikes, Peak TV, the box office, and how it all continues to create such a ridiculous amount of disparity behind the camera.

'May December' Side-Eyes Its Tabloid Origins The new film is loosely based on a real tabloid saga, but approaches it from a diagonal vantage point.

several weeks after i first watched MAY DECEMBER, i’ve been thinking a lot about The Lisp.
