Wish I could clear my schedule!!!

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

False War by Carlos Manuel Álvarez review – a new vision of migration A novel of interlocking stories captures the ordinary lives and interior worlds of Cuban exiles seeking sanctuary in Miami

'FALSE WAR is a rich and capacious novel that has much to say about our contemporary moment.' Arin Keeble reviews FALSE WAR by Carlos Manuel Álvarez, tr. Natasha Wimmer, for @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Screenshot of the opening paragraph of False War

Another screenshot of a paragraph from False War

The opening lines evoke 'the primordial gas stations of America' and the I10 journey across the Southeast of the US that finally drops you into Florida.

False War by Carlos Manuel Álvarez review – a new vision of migration A novel of interlocking stories captures the ordinary lives and interior worlds of Cuban exiles seeking sanctuary in Miami

This is an absolute stunner. Out this week with @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social and this Autumn in the US with @graywolfpress.bsky.social. Beautifully translated by Natasha Wimmer. My review: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this?
2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS

it's me, in one of my favourite journals! 🌱

Trump’s DC takeover is a move of staggering hypocrisy | Rebecca Solnit Donald Trump is concocting a drama in DC because he would like us to really stop talking about the Epstein files

Wrote about the most violent day in D.C.'s history, January 6, 2021, the current takeover of that city by the guy who instigated it, the right-wing snowflakes complaining they're afraid to walk down the street, and why the right fears and loathes cities (and lies about why). Bonus Epstein finale.

Devoured Jonathan Buckley’s One Boat and I think I like this one even more!

Alan Sparhawk, wow. Stunning show.

So good! I loved Audition too.

I submitted my book Domestic Denial: Terror, Race, and Home in Literature After 9/11 for peer review today! It's under contract with @uminnpress.bsky.social. I'm super stoked that this whole process is chugging along!

For the first time my Y4 seminar, Fictions of Terror, doesn't include a '9/11 novel'. A long overdue change.

Israeli signatories, including the former speaker of the Knesset, are calling on immediate crippling sanctions on Israel

No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

Very excited to read this one, forthcoming with @dauntbookspub.bsky.social. I loved her first three and particularly Vladivostok Circus.

Absolute treat to be in the front row for Jessica Pratt tonight - so good!!

When you take a vacation while your constituents are drowning that’s called a Ted Cruise.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe catalogue listing for the show 'The Provocateurs: Forensic Jewellery / Don't Read the Classics!'

Who's this in the @edfringe.bsky.social catalogue?

Once again thinking about how much easier writing would be if i had library access to more e-books and journals. Maybe instead of pumping money into AI bullshit, institutions could radically increase library budgets!
