As a New Yorker, I just called Senator Gillibrand's office to demand she defend all of our civil rights by fighting for Mahmoud Khalil. I called Schumer's office, too, but they're not taking messages over the weekend. Will call in the morning. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

Columbia student and New Yorker, Mahmoud Khalil - who was targeted and detained for constitutionally protected speech - should be home with his 8 months pregnant wife today.
Not missing in ICE detention, unreachable by his lawyers.

I am forever and always looking to connect with other writing teachers. If that’s you, or if you have a buddy I should follow, could you drop a note below? If I get ambitious/poorly manage my time, I might try to make a pack/feed/list.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
