What Was Lost: A Queer Accounting of the NY Times Book Review, 2013-2022 “Goodbye, Pamela Paul,” was the headline of Andrea Long Chu’s now-iconic, recently ASME-nominated New York Magazine farewell to the former NY Times Book Review editor, when Paul left the paper two …

AWP was chaotic and wonderful as usual. Happy to connect with so many new writing folks and catch up with friends. Also very pleased with my haul this year - can’t wait to dig in!

Great night and music by #QUEENHD and drinks and connections and readings and fundraiser and friends! #AWP #AWPWRITER @jackiedwrites.bsky.social @nonbinarypapi.bsky.social @jendireiter.bsky.social @driftwoodpress.bsky.social

Here’s where I’ll be this week!

Wooden desk with open laptop, sticky notes, pen, stack of books, and microphone/headphones. Window behind desk shows snow covered ground outside.

White garage door with painted dark blue circle and light blue lotus flower, next to a light purple entry door.

Spent last week at Sunlit Residency in Ithaca, NY. The residency honors Dr. Su-Je Lee Gage and her dedication to human rights and social justice. I feel so lucky to have had the week to reset and re-focus on my creative work.

Thank you Rachel! 😭💜

At each reading or event while launching this book, I set the bar on the floor and knew I’d be happy if 2 or 3 people showed, but at each and every one, I was stunned to see seats filled. I am forever grateful to my publisher and to everyone who has been a part of this journey so far.

No Offense is officially one year old. I’ll never forget the feeling of holding this thing I worked so hard to create in my hands for the first time. This last year has been a whirlwind.

Headed to a writing residency next week and looking for book/essay recs on the theme of “control,” especially in relation to gender, mental illness, death/grief. Can be very specifically related or broadly related. I’ll take whatever ya got!

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

And if you can afford it, buy physical copies. Now more than ever, we need to archive what we can. Digital can no longer be trusted. Especially in this day when our own information can be easily modified or deleted. Let’s get back to actually owning things and preserve a library for the future.

Not to mention another officer clapping as the man is being shot.

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.
