A contact form reads: Subject: Checking Authenticity Body of message Hi there Beth. I have been contacted by someone who is using the email, [email blacked out], and using you name and one of your novels 'Feast of the Starving Stone: The Chef’s Five' to engage with me as a fellow author - if it is you then great, if it is not, as i suspect, then this is a fake approach. I just wanted to be sure. thanks. [signed name blacked out] You're a real person, right? No, I'm a bot. Please don't include existential questions in a contact form. Yes.

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID.

Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name.

No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

I hate reality TV. But I have to admit I watched the first seasons (UK and US) just to see Alan Cummings ferocious fabulousness. 😍 Then I’d had enough to not ever watch again.

Medical research is being decimated. It’s has flatlined and now half of 2025 and 1/3 of 2015-2024 average. Future generations will suffer dearly because of delayed and missing treatments and cures.

Every once in while I’d see in the local paper that a garage meth lab would be busted - up in the foothills where my folks used to live. 😬

Meth lab? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Better a warning that goes nowhere than getting smacked by a freak tornado, I guess?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hunker down, and stay safe! 🙀❤️

This sucks. 😞 I grew up in Palo Alto, and returned to live and work there mid- 90’s. This is unacceptable 🤬

8th grade book report on Ragtime - EL Doctorow 🤭

Only way I can describe S2 of Deadloch is to say that it contains more creative uses of the c-word than an interview with BOTH Gallagher brothers from Oasis (complimentary, weirdly??!!). Anyway it remains Deadloch & I love my chaotic Australian murder queers & all performances remain outstanding! 🐊🔥

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

You’re both awesome people! 🥰

Let me tell you about when I went to the TGIJP's anniversary party

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
