Well, this is pretty damn special. American Rambler has been named one of Barnes & Noble’s Best Books of 2026—specifically in Biographies & Travelogues, alongside some rather stunning company. A hearty thank you to the kind crew at B&N! I’m grateful for the recognition. 🙏🏻🍎🍂 @barnesandnoble.com

What an honor to find out that national treasure and one of my all-time favorite actors Ethan Hawke not only *read* American Rambler, but *loved* it. Thank you so much, uh, Ethan Hawke. 🙏🏻❤️🥾🌳🍎

C. Mallon’s debut novel absolutely rocked me, so it was a thrill to review it for @nytimes.com‬. Tremendous thanks to MJ Franklin for the assignment, along with his sharp, thoughtful edits. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/b...

Or let me know if you think I can't pull off the hat. I'm open to that. London is nice.

My grandfather wore this style hat, as did my father. Which means I also tried to pull it off at different times in my life. 10 years old. 15. 19. 22. 28. 32. It never worked. But I think I might *finally* be old enough to pull one off. 🤞🏻 So, if you know London, tell me your favorite hat store.

My Philadelphia Wife™️ is making me watch the most unhinged shit right now.

Last pic is of the first day I set out adventuring in 2023. Shout-out to my favorite party monk and walking inspiration, John Chapman—aka Johnny Appleseed. Value yourself and others, and give thanks and gratitude to the sky. I’ll be posting pics from my journey all year, w/lots of updates to come.

Handed in the first draft of American Dionysus tonight. Wrote it by hand. Endless thanks to @kelfarbs.bsky.social for helping me every step of the way, including giving me the journal I originally wrote this draft in (first pic).
