This article really spoke to me, especially as I think about how my writing career has been circuitous, isolating, & fraught given my working class background. I often find that middle & upper class writers have more sense of confidence & community.

This makes me want to cry. There is just nothing else quite like Bookforum in terms of the books they choose to review and the intelligence (and flair) with which those books are reviewed. twitter.com/bookforum/stat…
On page 2 of today's NYT Sunday Review, there's a feature with the headline: KEEP CALM & ORGANIZE YOUR WORK PLACE
It's nice to have my book Beaten Down Worked Up recommended to read or watch about labor along with 's Fight Like Hell & 's Harlan County USA

It was one of the honors of my life to share the stage with @Lizzo and 16 other activists at the @PeoplesChoice Awards on behalf of @WeAreMPM. To see our mom-led movement for paid leave, child care & equal pay validated by one of the biggest artists in the world means everything.

Betty Ford changed oncology in the 70s when she shared her cancer diagnosis & news of her mastectomy with the world. Back then women didn’t do that.
Huge props to for talking about his vasectomy- may it inspire more men to consider their options.

After 10 months of learning about the procedure, @TonyDokoupil decided to get a vasectomy.
He says he wanted to carry some of the burden of pregnancy prevention: “It was easy.”

The gratitude in Merwin’s “Thanks” feels honest and expansive to me. We can be grateful and grieving, grateful and disappointed, grateful and fed up. We can be grateful AND acknowledge what needs to change.
Love—& thanks—

🧵 (1/5) A few months ago I got a tip: A source told me that Elon Musk had "more children" than the public realized. So I did some reporting, and... it was true! He'd had twins with one of his employees. But I always felt like there was more to the story.

Next year will be my 30th as a tax-paying resident of these United States. But because I’m undocumented—and there is no process for millions like me to adjust our status—I cannot vote. I’ve never voted.
Do not take your privilege and your right for granted.
