AHEM: Taiwan Strait

Happy International Women’s Day

Obligatory post-AWP tweet

They have cans of cold brew at the 3rd floor concession if you get desperate!

I just waited in line *30 minutes* to order my coffee at the only decent espresso place near the Baltimore Convention Center because I’m desperate for a good brew. Matriarch Coffee is single-handedly powering this #AWP.

We have received more copies of THE WEST FACADE from HQ #awp26! Come get some! Love that we had to request more inventory for day 3. Booth 529

👋🏽 Writer friends, I’ll be at #AWP Baltimore and would love to see you!Here’s where you can find me:

Today is the 2nd anniversary of my book The Translator’s Daughter. I’m so thankful for all the readers, editors and friends who’ve supported me. I visited Taiwan in January for the first time in 10 years and found this snapshot of the translator and his daughter 🥰 If you’re at AWP, come say hi!

Flight 2664 from SFO to Baltimore… literally half the plane is writers going to #AWP 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives.

Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

America in a nutshell

America needs regime change.

Once again.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

🥲

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

from the family of Virginia Giuffre: “At last. Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.... He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

My husband told me about the EPA dismantling today and I just had a full-on meltdown

Slow clap

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

We just received the most *obscene* gas bill from PG&E so my husband has forbidden us from using the heater 😂😂😂😩😩😩

Me too 😢

It’s already happening

Nearly spit out my coffee 😂
