Folks! I’m so sorry! I got sick and I lost my voice and I don’t know if I’ll be better by tomorrow night! So mark the new date!!

I’m the unworthy one ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Against AI: An Open Letter From Writers to Publishers To Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, and all other publishers of America: We are standing on a precipice. At its simplest level, our job as …

It was my great honor to sign this letter opposing AI in publishing.

Here’s the thesis statement of LOVE, LIKE APPLES. I write the things I most need to remember.

Truly my eyes were made by my Italian genes. They look good but mechanically they’re crap.

We will see RFK Jr. anting and recommending anting over vaccines before all is said and done

Imagine, if you will, me saying the phrase “my wife,” but after the manner of the fictional movie character “Borat”

I really wish I’d appreciated him more while he was around. I appreciated him but not at the level I should have.

The Peewee Herman doc is absolutely fascinating. I did not know that Paul Reubens looked like Jeff Buckley meets James Dean as a young man, or that he hung out with Phil Hartman and Elvira (together) or what a fascinating counterculture figure he was.

I’m really excited for y’all to read LOVE, LIKE APPLES

Honestly feeling pretty good lately about how lousy LOVE, LIKE APPLES is with Springsteen references

I used to think that any extraterrestrials who managed to contact Earth would probably be hostile. But now I think any civilization that lasts long enough and values science and learning enough to make contact with other intelligent beings is probably a far more benevolent one than us.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m never gonna get used to my friends sending me pictures like this of their kids’ assigned summer reading.

There’s a season 2!

I’m rewatching “Julia” on HBO Max and I truly cannot emphasize enough how blessed the vibes of this show are. It’s just this cast of sweet, gentle, smart people in Julia Child’s life cheering her on and giving her compliments and going on little zero stakes side quests together.

Everyone hates you and your super loud car/motorcycle

I am so unbelievably honored to have contributed a short story in verse to ONWARD, an eco-anthology edited by the incredible Nora Shalaway Carpenter! Look at that roster of contributors!! My story is about a young man who’s going to lose his home to the TVA’s construction of Tellico Lake.

Hey Knoxville/East Tennessee! Come see me speak on Friday night at the East Tennessee History Center!!!

Isn’t he amazing???

I am absolutely obsessed with this new print called “Friday Night, Everything I Need” by my friend Dolan Geiman!!

I’m so glad!!!😍

Imagine being one of those people on the Dominos commercial claiming to have had Dominos stuffed crust pizza when Dominos has never even had a stuffed crust pizza. Exposed to the world as liars, without honor. Total disgrace and humiliation.

Working on edits for LOVE, LIKE APPLES. I’m so excited for y’all to read it.

Interstellar

Rewatching “Dazed and Confused” and if you told me, when I first saw it, that the guy who plays Wooderson would someday be responsible for the most I’ve ever cried in a movie theater, wow would I not have believed you.

Enjoy!!!
