@bokchoygurltjong’s memoir WORLDLY GIRLS offers readers a tender journey through intergenerational trauma, female relationships, and the narrative unmooring that comes after leaving high-control religion. Read my review here! @bookhugpress https://t.co/nxXqmUDMxi

Guess I’ve made an annual habit of writing an essay about my Halloween costume? Check out my new substack, Critic at Play, and read about my choice to dress up as The Good Place’s Bad Janet! #thegoodplace #badjanet #halloween #onhell https://t.co/CxpzSPOzun

Had this thought in the shower this morning that I should stop saying I’m a freelancer and instead I should refer to myself an editorial mercenary.

Distribution is a facet of the book market that doesn't get discussed nearly enough, and Maria Bustillos does a great job breaking down its risks. https://t.co/rJ1oto6edu via @cjr

My interview with the brilliant Natasha Lehrer — translator of SAD TIGER by Neige Sinno from @sevenstories and THE PROPAGANDIST by Cécile Desprairies from @NewVesselPress — is up now @MastersReview! #interview #translation #literarycriticism https://t.co/7BwaI84CPK

“I saw the rot and I had the training to do something about it.” So grateful for the unflinching reporting coming from @reachjulieroys and #theroysreport, especially about the allegations toward #michaeltait // #ccm #michaeltaitallegations https://t.co/0HxvVikRGo

Grateful for this piece from Elizabeth Kaye Cook in @literaryhub today, and grateful to @clmporg for surfacing it. It’s a bleak time for small presses and lit mags—remember to support the ones you love. We really are all each other’s got. #litmags #funding https://t.co/GVgqm3m6Nm

Loved this bold and impeccably footnoted essay/book review from #AndreaLongChu — about the legacy of 2020, woke panic, and the smokescreens through which we think and speak (or don’t) #freepress #freespeech https://t.co/3XG47EJnO4

Tomorrow, fix yourself a lunch of frito pie and come hang out with #CaraMeredith and me while we talk all things church camp! Substack live at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET // #churchcamp #evangelical #exvangelical #summercamp #youthgrouptrip #youthgroup #churchkid

Gorgeous and devastating #truestory from Allison C. Macy-Steines in this week’s issue of #sneakerwavemag — about hair-pulling, coping, and the belief in the possibility of renewal. #trichotillomania #memoir #nonfiction https://t.co/ulQgxbonKI

I absolutely love running into friends unexpectedly at the library. What a delight. #library #publicspace #ilovemylibrary

This might be the essay that’s closest to my heart — about church camp, cry night, the doctrine of depravity and religious trauma. I’m so grateful to @ChristianCent for giving it a home! #religioustrauma #churchcamp https://t.co/JS5dEiC78i

This entry in the Farmer’s Almanac implies that Johnson’s impeachment and McKinley’s assassination were both results of their beardlessness

As a student of History and observer of people, a lot of you seem to only view violence in the physical form. That way of thinking is dangerous. It allows you to forget poverty is violence. That denying you healthcare is violence. That polluting your water and air is violence.

A story for anyone who’s ever had a total haircut disaster and lived to tell the tale—for all of us who have struggled to match the verve inside of us to the appearance outside, to find the right way to express our inner ‘fuckitall.’ https://t.co/5ES7Sq5tDy

Pretty sure Substack is what Medium intended to be. #amwriting #writingcommunity #blogging

I’ve got a new piece up @mayday_online and it’s the first of four essays as part of a critical residency! I’ll be writing about the frictions between the literary world and writing about/wrestling with faith. Thinking about #genesis and #evangelicalism https://t.co/GuQFusVtI3

I wrote this piece about how #boulder-based artist group #thecrowdcollective is activating vacant spaces! Check it out! #activatingvacantspaces #artistcollective #downtownboulder #boulderartists

As a book reviewer of great passion and strong opinions, I absolutely loved @cassmannes’s deep dive on criticism, particularly the point about specificity in reviews or blurbs. What is a great line or detail you’ve read in a piece of criticism lately? https://t.co/XnB691KTuc

Believing that children in Gaza deserve food to eat is not the same as being pro-Hamas/pro-terror. Condemning the murder of Israeli embassy staff does not mean you hate all Palestinians. This polarized, either/or, black and white thinking is going to be the end of us.
