Hello. After months and months of self-consciously self-promoting, the day has finally come. I WANT TO BURN THIS PLACE DOWN is available wherever books are sold. www.harpercollins.com/products/i-w...

the lesson that has positively affected me the most in my adult life, the lesson I’m most proud of having learned, is the difference between FEELING unsafe and BEING unsafe

somehow, about a decade ago, the internet gave me both @kristenarnett.bsky.social and @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social and god what a fucking gift that I get to know them! My two beautiful pals!!!!

KATE

Genuinely can’t even put into words how fucking lucky we are to have a book-length compendium of Kate advice. This shit is gold!!!

Selling Art At The End of an Empire I’ve spent all week doing interviews, and I will spend all next week doing the same. I feel really grateful to do interviews, to talk to curious reporters...

you sound like a boomer. grow up.

Welcome To The New Era Of Normal Gossip | Defector It’s a pretty big day for Normal Gossip and Defector! We know everyone loves treats, and today you’re getting three big ones: unhinged cruise ship gossip, our own Kelsey McKinney in the role of guest,...

I have loved working on Normal Gossip so much, and it has consumed three years of my life! I am so excited that we can hand it off to people who I know will be just as good(if not better) than us at making this show a fucking banger: defector.com/welcome-to-t...
