I am as surprised as anyone to discover that my book is apparently real and has a preorder link! penguinrandomhouse.com/books…
This was so, so fun to cook for! Amazing to see in print.
Up today on @parisreview, I made a fairy-tale French feast from the work of Madame D'Aulnoy, with guest-writer @celiadbell, whose novel #thedisenchantment was inspired by her. Thanks @heyincendiary for washing the leeks and @grapesunwrapped for the wine. theparisreview.org/blog/2023…
My guest episode on Vulgar History is up! This was such an incredibly fun conversation to have—I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to do it.
New episode! I’m joined by @celiadbell to talk about her new sapphic historical novel THE DISENCHANTMENT. Celia talks about the real life women and events that inspires the story, including Madame d’Aulnoy, inventor of the term “fairy tales”. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Some very cool recommendations in here, including an essay of mine!
The dark side of the transmigrante industry. A meditation on public safety. Staggering health recommendations around alcohol. Insight into the writers’ strike and an ode to the beauty of bees.
All this and our audience award in today's #LongreadsTop5

Very polite to refuse to move the plane until the swarm left!

I have an essay in Texas Highways this month! It’s about beekeeping, video games, and the natural world. Huge thanks to my editor for letting me get a little weird with it.

I just sent in edits on an excellent new story, to a magazine that I'm so excited about being in, and I can't wait until it comes out. Yes that's the whole tweet, just pure bragging.

I'm on ERCOT Media call right now, where they are discussing possible emergency alert for Texas grid today, just two months after February's blackouts.
