JUST IN: Trump Admin Freezes $18 Billion in Federal Funding to NYC Infrastructure, Citing ‘DEI’ OMB Director Russ Vought halts funding for NYC projects, including Hudson Tunnel and Second Ave Subway, citing “unconstitutional DEI principles.”

New York State generates ~$360 billion in fed tax revenue. NYC generates $12 billion more in tax revenue to Albany than it gets back in funding. NYC tax revenue is the engine for subsidies to Trump-voting upstate regions. We should probably start sitting on that bag. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Didn’t write enough this weekend then had one of those Monday morning #writing sessions that make me certain the thing I’m working on is an absolute dumpster fire so it can only get better from here.

We're struggling to do anything but watch this video of the newly discovered bumpy snailfish today.

A social media post by Danny Goodman describes the anxiety of writing a new book, comparing it to skydiving—terrifying before the jump but reassuring once its done. The post is dated September 6, 2025.

USTA asks broadcasters to censor reaction to Donald Trump’s attendance at U.S. Open Trump will attend the U.S. Open final as a guest of a sponsor, marking his first appearance since 2015.

Don’t watch.

Next bad writing day I’m going to stare at my laptop keys the way Rublev stared at the tennis balls after losing a set.

If your first novel was not a traditional “success,” where do you find the confidence to write the second novel?

reading my draft

The image is a drawing from the movie JAWS and features a minimalist, white outline of a stylized shark on a dark gray background. The shark is depicted with its mouth wide open, revealing jagged teeth, and has a large circular eye. Inside the shark’s mouth, there is a simplistic figure of a person. Across the shark and the person, bold red text overlays the image, reading “My Novel” and “Me.” The background is plain, allowing the white outline and text to stand out prominently.

Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll write this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy.

The image features a book cover and an e-reader displaying the same cover design. The book, standing upright, is titled "AMERIKALAND" by Danny Goodman. The cover artwork is stylized, depicting an abstract city skyline in shades of blue with a prominent bridge spanning across the scene. Above the skyline, the sky is illustrated with orange and yellow flame-like shapes. The e-reader, to the right and slightly overlapping, also shows the identical cover design. Below the cityscape, the author's name is prominently displayed in white against a teal background.

Did you know AMERIKALAND is available as an ebook? Well, it is! 📱📖 #booksky #authorsky #writingcommunity

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality.

Yes yes! @chantalalive.bsky.social is an incredible champion, a generous supporter, and a brilliant writer! 🙏🏻🫶🏻

The image depicts a dynamic scene from a WNBA game. Kelsey Plum is being held in the air by teammate Rickea Jackson. Plum is off the ground, with one leg bent, suggesting a playful struggle. In the background, there are people on the sidelines, some wearing blue clothing and others blurred out, showing expressions of interest or reaction to the gameplay. The text "me" is overlaid on Plum, while "my novel" is written on Jackson.

That W(riting) life.
