I had just moved to Chicago, and was three weeks into my first “real” job. I was on the 31st floor of a building in the Loop, and because I didn’t turn on the TV that morning, it wasn’t until I got off the elevator at the office that I heard about the World Trade Center

Farewell to Dolly, an artist, an icon, a legend, a sister, a daughter, and a mother to millions. We won't see her like on this earth again and we were all richer for breathing air at the same time she did.

IT’S HERE! My ooky, spooky mg debut, CREEPY KID, is on shelves as of today! It’s a ghost story about grief and fitting in and making friends with an annoying dead girl who has a cursed doll named Baby Jessica, and I can’t wait for readers to meet Poe 🖤🖤🖤👻

I don’t love how every antisocial aspect of Twitter that gets replicated over here is then treated as a unique facet of Bluesky’s culture. Dogpiling is a Twitter thing and it’s still happening exponentially more on X than here

🚨 COVER REVEAL!! 🚨 I am so thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming debut middle grade title, CREEPY KID! It’s about a boy whose new house is haunted by two ghosts—and only he can help them move on. It comes out on August 25, but it’s available for preorder now! 📚: bookshop.org/beta-search?...
Pictured is the cover art for CREEPY KID by Caleb Roehrig. A boy in a black hoodie stands at center of frame, looking up at a red-knee tarantula perched on his head. Behind him, beyond some crooked iron gates and tilted headstones, stands a dilapidated old house with a spectral being visible in an upstairs window.

BLITZER: Now we’re getting reports that one of the bullet casings was engraved with a message saying that if you are reading the casing, you are gay. We must warn our viewers we’re about to show the photo and don’t know at this time whether the engraving is what makes you gay or if it just tells you

Trying to explain to my former Gen Z intern what the second Iraq War was like (he was 1 when it started), and honestly: Just know that every war in my lifetime has been started by a Republican president. Please remember that, no matter what bucket of lies the GOP tries to sell you, younger voters.

This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!

I haven’t eaten at a Wendy’s since they pulled their ads from Ellen’s sitcom after she came out in 1997, and I haven’t used an Uber since they broke the strike line at JFK in 2017. It’s never too late to hold a grudge ☺️

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Imagine having more money, power, and influence than 99% of the planet and using it all to foment violence and discrimination against a tiny minority group. What a soulless use of a privileged life.

Twin Peaks changed me as a storyteller in the same way that Buffy did—but my favorite Lynch will always be the sublime and haunting Mulholland Drive. An ode to crushed dreams and the fantasy machine that is Hollywood, I feel lucky it happened in my lifetime.

Next, @calebroehrig.bsky.social, whose new TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN is one of the best queer Shakespearean retellings we’ve ever read. What if Romeo fell for Mercutio’s younger brother instead of Juliet? Lush, romantic, and gorgeously written. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Happy book birthday to @calebroehrig.bsky.social’a glorious TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN, which I loved SO much! It plays with R+J in such clever ways that isn’t the typical genderflipping Juliet (she remains a character here as well), and the writing is just so beautiful and layered. 🥰

I'm not usually into YA, but I make an exception for my buddy Caleb (@calebroehrig.bsky.social)'s witty, twisty, queer-queer-queer novels—and I'm so excited that a new one's out today! A Romeo & Juliet "remix" with cute boys. What better accompaniment to my (second, sigh) iced coffee this morning?
