Will Schwalbe @willschwalbe.bsky.social · 31/01/2026I’ve loved my forty-year career editing books, and I’m proud to have published so many extraordinary authors at three great houses. But I decided I wanted to be able to write full-time and, as of today, that’s what I’ll be doing. (When I’m not reading or napping.) #writing #books 050

In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it.

He has committed no crimes, yet ICE took him to brutal El Salvador prison. His desperate parents cannot even know if he is alive. Call WH (202) 456-1111 & senators . #BringAndryHome 17432161

Reposted by Will SchwalbeMark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Important thread. To see Charles Ortleb, who peddled anti-science nonsense during the first decade of the AIDS crisis, reframed as a brave apostate or "nonconformist" will appall anyone who was paying attention then. And as for comparing Larry Kramer to RFK Jr.: No, no, a thousand times no. 318342

Will Schwalbe @willschwalbe.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Suetonius wrote that the emperor Caligula proposed that his horse be made a Roman consul. Historians think he was simply trying to humiliate and denigrate the Senate. Now we see the president-elect proposing Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. And all I can think about is Caligula and his horse. 050
