I have new work in Wigleaf. Deepest thanks to Scott Garson and the @wigleaf.bsky.social team for holding my story with such care. I wrote this piece with love for a friend and I'd be so honored if you could read it.

A French-Pearl kind of night. In my top-five favorite cocktails for sure. Recipe by Audrey Saunders—a true genius of spirits.

Gorgeous day in Central Park! My favorite things about these photos are the parent & child sitting on the rock in the first & the little girls looking in the water in the other pics. Can you find them?

As someone who had a scaffolding plank come crashing through my window exactly where my children sit to play and eat, I am THRILLED to hear of these efforts to minimize scaffolding use in NYC! Installing scaffolding can be dangerous in & of itself!

This evil fascist wants to destroy the world and humanity. What a heartbreak the U.S. is right now. How will we ever repair the damage he is doing on the daily?

The @barrelhouse.bsky.social Write-Ins are back, and I for one need it! Join us for "alone together online" writing sessions, gently moderated, no pressure. Alone together 500 or so words at a time we can all get there.

Whoa this Sam Altman article in the New Yorker is long! I’ve been reading forever & am only halfway. The article’s foreboding doom definitely has me very scared for the future of humanity. But it’s also a lot of innuendo. Main take away so far: Altman is a liar & possibly a psychopath.

Lone daffodil on the West Side Highway. It’s my absolute favorite kind of day. Full-on sun but cold and crisp!

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

ICYMI I have new work out about dragon fruit, cinnamon toast, and eggs. I really hate eggs, and it was a pleasure to destroy them in a poem.

These pieces are part memoir, part microfiction, part prose poem. “Anti-ode to the Egg” is best viewed on a large screen (or horizontally on a phone) because a small screen adds unintended like breaks. Here’s the photo that inspired “The Cost of Dragons.”

Delighted to have 3 hybrid micros in the gorgeous last issue of @literaryruby.bsky.social. Thank you to April Bradley for the work that has gone into this food-inspired lit mag. I’m sorry to see the project end, but thrilled to be here beside so many I admire.

I don't read nearly enough flash fiction so I decided for the month of April that I'm going to keep going with #FlashInTheFeed and share a piece each day for accountability.

Today's piece is "Shelf Life" by Rowan Tate in @splitlipthemag.bsky.social: splitlipthemag.com/flash/0226/rowan-tate

After that post, I hope even Republicans are talking impeachment. The man is a psychopath.

Every time a plane I’m on lands, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment as if I myself flew the plane or something! 😂

My flying phobia is a lot to overcome.

Anyway, I’m back in NYC & happy to be here. ✈️

I’m writing two long, unhinged stories right now. I want them both to do things that probably aren’t possible, to disintegrate in midair. I’m trying to unlatch something in my brain, on the line. It’s a weird, amped up feeling like the endorphins that hit when you finish the first mile of a run. 🏃

I got to play Simon Says with my 5yo niece today. Absolutely delightful. Also, saw this rainbow over the ocean:
