Just send emails. If you're a literary journal, have a website. Your engagement numbers are a sham, man. Get off.

very weird to wake up (hours ago, jesus, i'm not a slob) and see people saying nice things and celebrating the good fortune of a st. louis cardinal.

i personally would like to see more novels where the whole thing is just a person living somewhere.

San Francisco: The city where skateboarders won?

"A spokesman for the Port of San Francisco said the agency has not received complaints since skaters returned and is happy to let them remain." People want people, even / especially if some of those people are pushing around on wheels.

sfstandard.com

The city has spent around $9 million on skate infrastructure in the last decade. It’s hard to believe it used to jail people for skating on the sidewalk.

Also, "witnesses" is One Letter longer than "migrants" and more effectively describes the position and role of the men

Just sent off a 15,000-word editorial letter to a client with a novel that's going to absolutely rule. Cannot stress how much I enjoy doing developmental edits for authors, how fortunate I feel to be trusted in this way and hurl myself into their projects.

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

i got into a bit of an argument last year with a Known Author for arguing that today's college profs absolutely must redefine "cheating" rather than slot LLM-aided essay writing into the same old categories and procedures. professors simply aren't paid for this shit.

You have not discovered contemporary masculinity until you've hung out with a radically disparate and intergenerational group of dudes and women and trans skaters hugging and saying I love you after one of us switch heelflips a few steps.

There we go. Now we're talking.

not for nothing, but a good thing about skateboarding contests is everyone pretty much accepts that they're rigged rather than believing in a fantasy of fairness despite a constant deluge of evidence otherwise!

Still curious for any input from presses / authors re: how the small POD run does or doesn't reset the "out of print" title clocks.

Last night a really fine and generous fella provided me with a copy of my 2009 novel to sign, and the book felt strange in my hand. When I opened it up, the back cover said it was printed in Las Vegas in 2025. Were I someone whose agent always responds to my little questions, I'd ask her about this.
