New essay up over at @electricliterature.com where I gush about how cool friendship is, also writing about friendship and writing through friendship and the friendship between authors I admire. In short, yay friends! Also, yay to my editor, Willem Marx!

I have a new essay up at @therumpus.net where I unpack my favorite sentence, which happens to be the opening to my favorite short story, and ask the burning question: can sentences be sexy? Many thanks to @arammrjoian.bsky.social for editing this!
