Reminder to everybody; if you think you saw someone stealing food, no you didn’t.

I’m at a medical convention for work and they have puppies! @awpwriter.org can we have puppies!

Indigenous horror isn’t just about the things that exist in the shadows or go bump in the night. It’s truth, memory, and the stories that refuse to stay buried, that we refuse to let stay buried.

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

This is by far the most fun thing I get to do when a book comes out, so go, buy it and smell good.

When you use an Oxford comma, you're doing your part to make the world beautiful, meaningful, and understandable.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to enjoy chocolate croissants and read Edgar Allan Poe by the fireplace in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night?

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

Putting “legionnaire of Antichrist” in my bio.

If you don’t want to read Edgar Allan Poe together by candlelight whilst sharing dark chocolate cheesecake and a vintage bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon in an abandoned cottage in the Scottish Highlands during a raging storm, then please don’t tell me you’re “open to trying new things.”

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Cheers for all of the @lambdaliterary.org award winners and finalists. And everyone who published a queer book. We need all of us more than ever!

More Dems taking this position please—they might actually win

I've never seen a more consistently reactive audience than Good Boy in theater 2 at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social

We're talking constant awwws and gasps all out of concern for the cutest dog I've ever seen in a movie.

The Chicago ICE raid has proven once again that US citizenship is irrelevant. It is race or perceived race that matters. Anyone Black or brown is a target. Our Christofascist regime is accelerating ethnic cleansing tenfold.

Elections will not save us from this.
