I’m not gonna be on here much anymore, for a variety of reasons. You can find me on the blue app @/alexborbolla and the photo app @/editoralexborbolla

Is this anything? Just trying to have a little hope.

@BOENYC I posted my sticker to my neighborhood subreddit and inspired no less than five people to go out and vote today!

🎃 Get your 2024 Halloween sticker and tag us to show it off! Polls open until 8pm.

@grubreport Somebody get Mo Willems on the phone!

I’m also expecting 11 more revisions from my authors this year, so my priority will be those. I’m trying to be as on top of things as possible, but protecting my free time is a priority & I only have so many hours in a day. I appreciate everyone’s understanding & patience!

Submission update: -I’ve received 455 subs this year so far. -I have 119 left to review. -With the exception of a handful I want to read in full, I am caught up through July. -I batch read & then batch respond, so I have ~50 un-fun emails I need to send.

I regret to inform y'all this Taylor Swift book is not going to shift anything in publishing. Even if the book hits the NYT list, which I think is highly unlikely since it's being sold exclusively from Target and is more pictures than it is words, that's not going to scare execs.

Proof!

Building my entire voting plan for this year around the fact that I once voted early on Halloween and got a special Halloween-themed “I voted” sticker. See you at the polls October 31st 🎃 #Harris_Walz2024

@thejumbles @DiscussingFilm AAAAAAHHHHH

@DiscussingFilm @Alex_Borbolla 🚨🚨🚨

Aardman and Cartoon Network are seemingly collaborating on a mystery project for the 10th anniversary of ‘OVER THE GARDEN WALL’

@svershbow The coffee shop in my building had a lovely wood deck bordered by flower planters, & it was such a nice view from my window & when leaving the building. Now I just see cars 🥲

Every New Yorker I know is sad to see the outdoor dining sheds disappear. We should prioritize local businesses and places to gather outside over parking spots.

@grubreport Couldn’t have been timed better! Thrilled she gave an official endorsement 🥳

@margaritapoet @simonteen @SSEdLib The biggest congrats, Margarita! You are so, so deserving.

Amazing news! Wild Dreamers is on the National Book Award Long list! Thank you, judges!!! @simonteen @SSEdLib

@LauraTNamey Omg yay!!!

@deandraswriting As a former Floridian, I feel you 😂

My heart goes out those who are sad to see summer end, but giiiiiiirl my seasonal depression is LIFTING! My level of misery drops with each drop in temp! My happiness grows with the number of layers I have to wear! I gladly wave goodbye to the sun, who is nothing but mean to me!

"You are Latina enough," I whisper to myself, running my hands along every Goya can in the grocery store.

@RickSteves Sending all the good vibes, Rick! Wishing you good health and happy trails ahead

I’d like to take a moment to share some important news. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctor assures me that, if you’re going to get cancer, this is a good kind to get, and careful scans show no sign of it having spread. There is a clear path forward to getting healthy, and this fall, I’ll be in the hospital for a few days having prostate surgery. My doctor’s fine with me filming two new TV shows in France for the next three weeks, returning home to Edmonds by mid-September. I’ll likely get my surgery in late September, be laid up for a month, and—God willing—be cancer-free and back at it by the end of October. I have great trust in my doctor and in Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. And I have lots more to be thankful for…including the support of friends and loved ones and a strong faith that I’m in good hands. While the statistics tell me I should be just fine, I’ve been fortunate to have never spent a night in a hospital — and I find myself going into this adventure almost like it’s some amazing, really important trip. I feel good about my positive attitude — and I expect to take home some delightful, if intangible, souvenirs like: appreciating and seeing a vibrancy in the little things; appreciating the goodness in people and the treasure of friends and family; being wowed by modern medicine and the army of amazing, smart, and dedicated people that make it possible; appreciating what a blessing life, health, and this world to enjoy is; and — just in general — being more thankful. I’m looking forward to many more years of happy travels, exciting collaborations, and beautiful friendships. Thank you for your love and support (and any “travel tips” you may have for me as I set off on this journey). Rick PS: I’ll keep you posted.
