Every time I go to my local coffee shop and pay, I get a text saying that I earned a star. And every time, I am completely surprised. Like, "Oh! I got a text!" Every time.

Best books for an awakening 19 year old thinking about anti-capitalism and particularly excited by Fred Hampton?

Recently joined a writing accountability group and have been shocked by how much I got down on the page. It isn’t all perfect, but it is a draft. Anyone else do anything like this?

I’ve been a super fan of Percival Everett for years, and it feels like my team won the World Series today. Here’s a piece drawn from my dissertation on Everett. Thanks to @newlinesmag.bsky.social for putting it out in the world.

What is the appropriate celebration for when you complete a draft of a whole freaking book, but you know too much to celebrate fully because it is only a draft and there is so much work ahead? I'm thinking something between a glass of bourbon and a lollipop?

Honored to have the chance to write an introduction to Deep Ruts by @julieraepowers --a stunning and important book that complicates ways of thinking about gender, Appalachia, and family. Pre-order below.

I feel like I walked tentatively into a party, worried I would be the only one there, and every person I see is either someone I know or someone I want to know. Eager to see if we can keep some of the magic of that other place over here on Bluesky.
