C'est moi! Looking forward to sharing all my ~secrets~ next week

It’d KILL to recreate this panel and @megireid.bsky.social’s panel with @deepvellum.bsky.social and #Algonquin at the next @aupresses.bsky.social meeting…we DON’T get to talk enough about the intersections of all of our work together (including the writers and the development of the idea economy)

Several dozen people gathered in front of bookshelves.

To celebrate our centennial, DUP employees gathered for a party in our Durham, NC offices this week. Here's a photo we took of everyone who attended. #DUP100 #DUPLove

How are you NOT going to put a photo of the actual curator of the Met exhibition and author of the book it’s based on in your 200+ photo gallery of the #MetGala red carpet???? (Monica looks amazing, and the book is too!) store.metmuseum.org/slaves-to-fa...

Living in Austin means having a full weekend of Willie Nelson jams on @kutx.bsky.social for his 92nd Birthday. (This is not a complaint.)
