Happy anniversary to my best friend, who happens to be my lover. Eleven years seems both too short and too long for everything we've been through

Saw tons of folks at Stokercon and did not talk to 99 percent of them. Oh well, maybe next time 🙂

To all mothers, but especially to the one whom I'm married to--she makes our daughter feel empowered, beautiful & smart 🙏 She teaches a course on "bad mothers," only b/c she strives to be the best one possible @aliciaandrz.bsky.social

Celebrating my wife's b-day today (@aliciaandrz.bsky.social)! Recognizing her endless positive impact on the world, w/ students & colleagues, & also her thirst to connect w/ people. She's special; nobody can argue that. Larger-than-life; brilliant-minded; gorgeously beautiful, to top it off

SPLIT SCREAM: The Parents Ain't Alright. Here's Echo depicting @ryantjenkins.bsky.social's punk rock deadbeat dad from "Come to Daddy"
A bearded dude agonizes with his hands pressed to where his eyes should be, but the whole top of his head splooshes upward in a mess of body parts and splatter and avocadoes yes avocadoes. It merges with a record spinning on a turntable. look, you'll just have to read it.

Laura's incredible 10p debut AGONY'S LODESTONE deals w/time loops, missing persons & video footage, so comping it to Found Footage horror films is easy & accurate. But more than that, it truly pulses w/cinematic vibes. The setting & premise are pure Widescreen Terror. Check it out if you haven't📼🌲💀

I just found a journal my mom kept for me for 7 years, w entries about what she went through raising me. it’s such a gift. the writing includes her struggle w yelling, her anxiety over being judged as a mother, & hilarious entries abt the toddler years. I’m inspired to start one for my daughter.
the first page of my mother’s journal, which talks about why she’s keeping it for me

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

OK, I need advice & want to turn to Twitter, so help me out Bluesky: for my Murakami class, I am teaching “After the Quake” & “Kafka on the Shore” for sure. if I could, I’d teach 1Q84 as the third text, but it’s too long so what’s the last major text you’d put on the syllabus? reposts appreciated.

I decided to read a non-horror book, which is actually weirder than the horror I’ve read over the past year. Miranda July’s ALL FOURS, so far, is wonderful. She’s quirky, hilarious, and full of bizarre insight. Highly recommend!

Went to dentist in a very long time, & they took a 3D model of my teeth & proceeded to show it on a huge flat-screen TV, examining every speck of dirt & poorly managed tooth, which to me felt like all my bad decisions on display for the dentist & two dental hygienists present
