There’s always been dating fads, as @timmanley.com reminds us with this sad singles mixer story. And now, there’s a new dating phenomenon called THE FEELS. We get into that and more on #FakeTheNation with me, Tim, and @christianfinnegan.bsky.social. #Dating #singles #onlinedating
Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.
This image is exactly what I’ve been saying lately!
Has voting for Mamdani reached meme status? Does everyone just want to be in on it? We’ll know soon enough! We discuss the last days of the NYC election on this week’s #FakeTheNation w/ @christianfinnegan.bsky.social & @timmanley.com #mamdani #NYC #NYCMayoral #elections #NYCelection
A beautiful book!
I’m about to call so many people bovinos
I love this
@christianfinnegan.bsky.social did you call them bovinos???
Unbeknownst to me, the industry or ‘livestream shopping’ has grown in popularity - Its like QVC but for TikTok. @timmanley.com ‘s mom was into QVC. We try to understand the phenomenon on #FakeTheNation w/ me and
@christianfinnegan.bsky.social offering up our… disbelief. #shoppin #livestreamshopping
What do you think about the demolition of the East Wing of the White House? Do you, like @christianfinnegan.bsky.social think it will serve as a “giant graffiti tag” on the symbolic seat of America? This + a Mamdani check in on #FakeTheNation with @timmanley.com #WhiteHouse #demolition #trump
I wrote a book! I’m very excited for you to read it! I’m speechless!
BRB in a few months. Going to revise a project I’m excited to share soon
Good-lookin bird!!
I frequently find myself looking forward to the next Kacen Callendar book. Whatever and whenever it will be, I will read it.
Today I will lead a storytelling workshop with some teens. I’ve done this a hundred times before. I am, of course, terrified.
I read Ben Lerner’s The Topeka School before bed this past week. I found it at the library, wandering the rows looking at spines, collecting a stack I’d always considered reading. I brought them all back to my desk and read the first pages of each.
Fuck this!
I totally believe it. I’m so jealous of all those words. I have no idea what any of them look like but they bring semi-fantastical images to mind
I really enjoyed reading this and now I’m going to check out Leafskin!
Soon all the green things I don’t know the names of will return for spring and summer, and it will be harder to walk to the big tree I’m trying to befriend. I already barely visit the tree. Next time I do, though, I bet I’ll enjoy seeing all the green things returning or returned.
(This experience happened for about fifteen seconds before it was time to do everyone’s dishes. I am trying to believe these in-between moments can be enough.)
On a misty morning I drink coffee and look out the window. Maybe I’m wondering if I’m supposed to be thinking or feeling something. I have an empty mind, but I don’t know if that’s a sign of wisdom or stupidity.
On Saturday I’m taking @1demerith.bsky.social’s class on movement for writers. I’m always trying to discern how much of my work should come from deep in my body, and how much from my regular dopey brain. On Saturday, at least, we’ll try the body.

Far too easily. And thank you! I’m optimistic for the week ahead. Also pessimistic, but.
I love that book so much. Enjoy AWP!
My mother would be enthused!
One night around this time last year, I was driving home and saw a frog in the road. Then another. Then another. Hundreds of spring peepers were emerging from their hibernation and crossing the road to get to the creek downhill. I had to drive very slowly.
