A lovely short thread about what I think is a fantastic short story—available now!—and about not giving up on the stories you love having written.

I'm sitting at the hospital waiting room (scheduled surgery for loved one), and this delightful older woman is telling the receptionist, "Children? I have two too many!"

Also AI can't do history and anyone who says so can fuck off into the sun.

Today, my 6 yo grandkids came to my studio and painted these frames I built & then used bones they collected over the summer at the lake to create creepy creatures which we glued to the paintings. That's how you instill creativity. You let them be creative. They've already asked to come back.

The seminal workplace comedy 9 to 5 is returning to theaters October 9 with ticket sales benefitting Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which gifts free books to kids and promotes childhood literacy.

Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton celebrate as they have their boss tied up behind his desk in art for 9 to 5. Caption reads: Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 Returning to Theaters October 9

And in terms of genealogy programs, we have the fabulous Susan Weinberg presenting a lecture for us on Zoom about "Mining the Manifest" on October 8th at 5 pm. It's free to attend, but you need to register for the Zoom link. #genealogy #jewish programs.cjh.org/event/family...

I love this from a #genealogy perspective, as well as from the perspective that this history should be publicly-accessible to all.

Does anyone have a contact in or otherwise know something about Universidad Mayor de San Andrés in Bolivia? I have been trying to reach their librarians/archivists/historians about a manuscript preserved there. I have emailed every address I could find, to no response. Any leads apprciated!

My new books from JQ Editions arrived, and they're genuinely gorgeous. 😍

Two books from JQ Editions. On the left is a black book with a blond lady in a portrait; it's The Last Lady B by Eloisa James. On the right, a silouhette of a woman is on a purple book with many tiny blue flowers. It's An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole

It is so cold in our office that I'm walking around in a sweater and drinking hot tea. In early September. I've become a stereotype of someone who's always cold. 🙃

I don’t know which books from L. Perkins Agency have had claims made against them, but I’d like to publicly state that I haven’t filed any claims for books that I represented when I worked there from 2006 to 2008. I haven’t filed any claims in this settlement at all, even for my own writing.

Not just in Germany. After the Anschluss, Jews in Vienna also died by suicide. And this was in 1938 and 1939, before the main bulk of the war, but after people started feeling hopeless.

My 9 year old found an old iPhone 4S that we apparently still have. Apparently, "the 2010s were a sad era", according to her. 🙃

There's a newer market out there that seems to have declared war on all em dashes. Which I have to tell you, just makes me not want to submit to them EVER.

As a sidenote, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library was a direct influence on the founding of PJ Library, which has provided free Jewish books to my kids and others for years. 1/

I'm quote posting this because I agree so strongly. Human brains are awesome at sorting and sifting and correlating information. We should use them. ❤️

Our lovely, local water company has been acquired by a much larger water company. Except that the much larger water company has NO PUBLIC E-MAIL ADDRESS. Not even a contact form. I'm supposed to call them on the phone, like we live in the last century. 🙄

I adore the musical “Six”: the music, the concept, the fact that all of the queens are badass. But I’ve now read not one, but two 2026-published novels, about the wives of Henry VIII, and it’s very clear that there is a revisionist trend Happening. 1/

OMG, yes, it still exists! Or at least a little knife sharpening bus from Brooklyn exists because I saw it yesterday at the corner of Broadway and 16th, right by Union Square.

A long shot: is anyone currently doing research at the Biblioteca Nacional del Perú in Lima? I'm trying to track down two seventeenth-century single-sheet printed broadsides. I'd be very grateful to connect. Thanks! #earlymodern
