"[E]lectric . . . The collection teaches us what kinds of respites can be found in diaspora—fleeting, begrudging, but real nonetheless." Congrats to @LadyDionne79 for this wonderful look at her new THE ISLANDS in @nytimesbooks!! nytimes.com/2022/11/21/boo

Since everyone is asking (no one is asking), I’ll also be at @lcheuk22 at IG and @lelandcheuk@zirk.us at that Mastodon of social media complexity.

Good morning, friends- I'm on strike with for fair working conditions for part-time faculty at , a place I've proudly called my work home for 20 years. The adjunct model is facing a reckoning and I hope you'll support us.

this book was published 6 months ago. twiggy hasn't read it, but she watched me write most of it, or, more accurately, slept while i wrote it. many thanks to everyone who has bought the book, read it, reviewed it on goodreads or amazon etc, & written to me with kind words. 💛

When I joined Twitter in ’08, I had two novels, both commercial flops. I didn’t fit a prefab publishing model: I was/am a black-ish author who looked white and wrote weird, funny lit fiction. But Twitter was text-based, brief: a perfect fit for a satiric writer like me.

Publishers, increasingly: Hi, we're publishing a book in three months and we don't have a jacket, or any descriptive information, or a title actually, and we can't tell you the author(s?), but you'll love it. Shall we put you down for a carton? We need your order by EOD.
