Where @aaronburch.bsky.social leads, I will follow (even to Tacoma). Also can't wait for this one (and everything Aaron ever does). Once again, @autofocusbooks.bsky.social with the killer lineup
cover! synopsis! preorder! out in feb!!

"Blending autofiction with fantasy, meta with magic, and earnestness with absurdity, 𝘛𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘢 presents a recognizable but also magical world where we ask, if nothing is real, then why not have as much fun as possible?"

I'll get a copy in my @autofocusbooks.bsky.social Seasonal Box, but I'll be ordering MANY more copies to give as gifts to all the women I grew up with in the 90s. Cannot WAIT.
I am losing my mind that I finally get to share its cover and announce preorders are live for TEEN QUEEN TRAINING, my erasure essay collection deconstructing and reconstructing the rules of being a teenage girl!

HELLO, ‘90S TEENS!

Watching "Cheers" for the first time ever while I breastfeed at 3am, and, man...Ted Danson is a total fucking smokeshow.

Ok I’m starting an ongoing thread for my baby/parenting posts. Sorry to be all “I’m the first person to ever have a child,” hopefully this will make it easier to mute if this isn’t for you!

You know when you eat Thai food and just feel so happy to be alive?

Just got an email from the hospital addressed to my 12 day old baby, asking him to complete a patient satisfaction survey about his birth.

I gave my OBGYN a copy of my book and she just called me on her lunch break to say "OMG" as she flips through it. She asked if I'd do a reading for her office staff. I think she was joking about that part, but YES, YES I WILL.

I gave birth to our son a few days ago, and while we're not sharing pics of him on social media, you'll have to trust me that he's so cute, it's actually outrageous. So powerfully cute, he must be viewed through a pinhole in a piece of paper, like an eclipse, for one's safety.

I got to interview one of my favorite writers ever, @wendyortiz.com, for @fullstopmag.bsky.social! To me, Wendy exemplifies the kind of artist so many of us aspire to be: always working and publishing on her own terms, turning hard lived moments into beautiful art. www.full-stop.net/2025/09/23/i...

Had to sell my @nin.com tix for tonight because I’m too pregnant. Still celebrated new NIN though, with my favorite Etsy purchase of all time.

Wherever we go after we die, I know my Grandma is welcoming Robert Redford there with enthusiasm, and to complete her mission of hooking up with him, which she talked about wanting to do frequently.

Truly the crossover event of my LIFE, Niina and Autofocus!!! I can't WAIT for this book!
By the way, some news! I have a book coming out with the wonderful @autofocusbooks.bsky.social. I'm incredibly excited to join the list -- I so admire the work they've been putting out.

Last night I watched as a man raised his phone and took a photo, not of the two men on stage in front of us, but instead, intentionally cropping out Steven Spielberg to take a badly framed photo of just Paul Thomas Anderson.
