I agree! I'm very excited to teach it!

Book-length and shorter works!

I get to teach a very cool class in the fall.

Race, Immigration, and The American Dream:
An exploration of the ways race and immigration interact with the American dream of success through its manifestation in various genres of American literature.

I'm here for all recs in all genres. 👀

Your body is a temple and you shouldn't share it with someone who supports facism.

This semester has been one of the best teaching semesters of my life and it's almost entirely because of going 90%+ to pen and paper.

My students are fully doing it, without complaint, and it's beautiful. They're actually reading. They're writing weird shit. They're being brave.

They like this.

Indie publishers, I beg you to post high-res book covers and author photos alongside your book links. If you really want to be fancy, add in a downloadable PR sheet.

SELL YOUR BOOKS, MY LOVES. That includes giving reviewers and journalists the PR materials they need without having to email you!

Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.

I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

My children are never going back to school again, y'all. 😭

That's so depressing. Why make art, then?

Art is so much better in community! In conversation! In friendship!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but how much you publish or whether you've finished that book or achieved ___ only matters in your own head. Anyone else who has thoughts about your productivity can fuck off.

This guilt or shame is yours and you can let it go.

This is art, not a finish line.

Fair enough. I also have that problem.

No specific questions here, but I'd love to hear any and all thoughts about anti-anxiety medications and a decrease in motivation.

Oof, y'all. Striving for balance and failing.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

This is amazing. But also, I live in Arlington and it's a valid reason to shut someone down.
