When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Did a high school visit recently and met a student who was still deeply offended by a previous visiting writer who used the term "skibidi toilet"

Whenever I see generalized advice a la “don’t query a (genre) novel over (reasonable word count)” I want to scream.

Before taking random social media tips, please. Look at your bookshelf. Your local bookstore. It’ll help inform your work and understand the market better than whoever BookExprt37 is.

The problem with this article is that the media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing. The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him.
The empathy is coming from social media.

anyone else just constantly quietly dismayed at how much literacy is down the drain? like some people don't know how to read a damn thing and they only praise terrible writing, it's crazy 😭

A quote from a review is featured at the top of a golden orange background: “An important, eye-opening book. Practitioners and scholars alike will want to add it to their reference stacks.”—Andy Bechtel, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly. Below is the navy-blue cover of The Conscious Style Guide and the words "Available wherever you buy books."

Thank you, Andy Bechtel, for your tremendous review of #TheConsciousStyleGuide in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly! “An important, eye-opening book. Practitioners and scholars alike will want to add it to their reference stacks.” #JMCQ

My mother has schizophrenia and there’s a chance I could too. Am I right to want biological children? I’m not ambivalent about having kids because I’m afraid for their mental health. It’s because I’m afraid for my own

I have an article in The Guardian today about motherhood, mental illness and ambivalence

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

"Memoir as a Vehicle for Connection: A Conversation with Sarah LaBrie by Jennifer Stewart" written in white at the bottom of LaBrie's author photo. To the left of these words is the book cover for No One Gets to Fall Apart beneath the full white Rumpus logo.

"I really needed a book like this, a story about mental illness and Blackness and friendship and relationships that didn’t necessarily fit the dominant narratives..."

Jennifer Stewart interviews Sarah LaBrie about No One Gets To Fall Apart (Harper).

Want to read this but it seems so scary

Currently reading After World by Debbie Urbanski. It’s really, really good.

On art as the start of a conversation Writer Sarah LaBrie discusses the limits of trauma narrative, the internet as temporary, and letting love happen.

I have an interview in @thecreativeindependent.com today! thecreativeindependent.com/people/write...

Headline from a rich person who writes: "Don't replace the culture war with the class war"

Counterpoint: Do

Every time you go on Amazon or Goodreads to leave a review for Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi, or Alexander Chee, leave one for a first-time Black woman author, too. We need support so much more than well-established millionaire male authors.

this is bullying

Well then how do you explain this?

Feeling unmotivated and I think my problem is that I’m not currently jealous of anyone

Currently reading (and loving)

Sometimes I worry that because I am Hot and Successful people assume nothing bad has ever happened to me when in fact the bad things that happened are WHY I am Hot and Successful

I’m so pleased my conversation w/ Sarah LaBrie on #Let’sTalkMemoir!

In this episode: releasing emotional pressure w/ writing, when fiction doesn’t cut it, learning to stop punishing ourselves & her new memoir No One Gets to Fall Apart.

A Schizophrenia Diagnosis Sets Off a Reckoning With Mental Illness In “No One Gets to Fall Apart,” the TV writer Sarah LaBrie follows the breadcrumbs of her mother’s disorder back to her childhood, and beyond.

You have to read this book by my inimitable friend Sarah LaBrie. I got to read an early version and just read the published book and was blown away anew. Such a strong voice, and a dry, dark sense of humor. Extra credit for the length: 224 brisk pages.
