This book was amazing.It's been rlly refreshing to see less tragedy laden queer plots in fiction. I want my books to make me laugh &smile.There's a place for tragedy but we're so much more than that & this book is perfect for the 30 somethings craving more than another HS/college coming of age book
I recently finished reading I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU by Jinwoo Chong and it was a lovely read. It’s a slow-paced yet chaotic and funny slice-of-life novel about connection, queerness, family, second chances and a family run sushi restaurants.

Listening to the audiobook at work, and this refresher on City of Night by John Rechy has me wondering (15 years after reading it the first time,) if reading this at age 15 affected the trajectory of my life in ways I haven't yet considered. 🧐🤔😮
My new book HELLO STRANGER: MUSINGS ON MODERN INTIMACIES is out today!

You can get your copy wherever books (and e-books & audiobooks) are sold!

I've always been called an old soul and never knew what I was supposed to take from that.
From my short story “An Insincere House,” I put something a yoga teacher said into the story on the subject that I think about a lot. As I do get called an old soul. Story appeared in the Tribes issue of Tin House in 2014. tinhouse.com/product/trib...

Holy crap what a star studded anthology. I can't wait! If this is a success I'd love to see these made for his other books.
Apropos of nothing, but I'm really excited for The End of the World As We Know It, the anthology set in the world of Stephen King's The Stand. Lots of great names contributing, man - @crobertcargill.bsky.social @chuckwendig.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com @tananarivedue.bsky.social & so many others.

NYPD perfectly illustrates in a single day that they only exist to protect the oligarchy.

I got burned out on BG3 around act 3 and thought I'd take a "little" break and try divinity 2. Now I'm burned out on both so of course I just installed Baldur's gate 1 and 2.
