It's really easy to look back and attribute your success to things like "I got As in school and I passed that test." Those are salient memories and legible markers. But it can be more true that what actually got you here was the ability to persevere, to disengage from bad pathways, and to recover

King: you made it up???
Rowling: well i mean technically i got the idea from jill murphy
Jill Murphy: hey did you know that anything can happen on halloween

Literally just posted this. Good luck ❤️

As the malign and discordant machinery of the universe grinds on I would like to offer a quiet thank you to whatever anarchic demigod or atomic swerve has overlooked the fact that I am just living with Q in a house. Thank you for your inattention to us in this otherwise all-encompassing horrorshow 🙏

Dude I don’t dress like this (put songs in my paper titles) to attract women/men (readers), I do it for ME

this is just to say

I have had an issue
fetching the posts
that were
on the timeline

and which you
were probably
hoping
to doomscroll

forgive me
the takes were so hot
and so
rate limited

Still space on my lovely spec fic writing retreat in France in October! It's going to be super cosy:

I've been told by very smart book world friends I need to talk A LOT more about the book here on bluesky. It's true, much of how books circulate is through the hard work of their authors, so I'll say this: I hope this book will change the way folks understand both the American story and our media.

on a scale of 1 to 100, my support for democracy and protecting everyone's right to vote is 99. but i admit it used to be 100 before reading some of your tweets

I love that for them

I did have one Ken doll but he was banished to the howling wastes (he was Malibu Ken and his clothes were exceptionally naff)

My Barbies & Sindies were not that cool but they did all live together in the Sindy house because they were a women’s commune sheltering from an unlivable post-apocalyptic (maybe radioactive?) world outside. Also the garden was haunted

In order to protect our men, we’ve constructed a labyrinth and trapped Jolene inside it

Oh no

This is an actual truth, and I actively dislike dogs

Not reciprocal though, actually. But I feel like it should be / would be in a situation where you’re not designating one sound signal and the other one noise

A Theory of Resonance, PMLA 112:5 (1997)

If you switch the metaphor from visual to aural, yes, apparently - there’s a paper by Wai Chee Dimock that I cite in pretty much everything I write about how background noise can boost certain frequencies in a signal (obv this is a metaphor for literary reception)

That sounds terrifying

Okay I had not come across that before and:

1. literally* the worst acronym
2. curse you Matthew now I believe that "splink" is the best translation of hwaet

*literally literally, not figuratively literally

Love this!

Oh good!
