@heyitsfranklin2 @elinorgray I got it wrong. Sorry. Congrats again. I have been watching your TikTok videos for awhile. I enjoy them.

Some personal news, as they say

a little deep cut, as a treat 😌

I know everyone is talking about the headline, but that dek, "No, nothing good starts in a janitor cart" is the quiet hero here

I'm usually behind the scenes editing, but I was so charmed by "House of Cotton," a new novel that is so weird, so dark, so smart and so refreshing, I had to write about it. nytimes.com/2023/04/04/boo…

Weekend baking project: peanut butter stuffed brownies

I found Alice Winn's new book IN MEMORIAM absolutely addictive; a queer WWI love story filled with glorious sentences. Check out my review! nytimes.com/2023/03/07/boo…

Thrilled to share some ✨personal news ✨ I'm beyond excited to be joining @msnbc as Director of Platforms. Going to miss getting to do my own accounting as a freelancer but can't wait to learn from such a smart and ambitious team.

@moneyries @Reddit Congrats congrats!! 🎉🎉

I’m thrilled to share my next chapter on this journey begins Monday: I’m joining @Reddit as Global Content Lead, teaming up with a talented, dedicated, & diverse group of people connecting users with the most interesting and relevant content, conversations, and communities 👾

✨ personal news 🧵 ✨ The last few months have provided me with an invaluably insightful chance to slow down and reflect, and despite the chaos and residual drama, I’m immensely thankful for the forced break.

@ReadingRants Thank you, thank you!! 🙏🏾

Weekend baking adventure: chocolate chip toffee cookies 🍪✨

@lachristensen I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you so much love and support 🤍

Carrying Simone, for five months inside me and then for five minutes in my arms, was the greatest honor and joy of my life. I miss her unspeakably, but feel lucky to continue living for her.

24 days ago I learned my daughter was dying in utero, and if untreated I risked preeclampsia and stroke. Termination is illegal in NC after 21 weeks, which I was, even when she had no hope of surviving and I was in danger. Because I had the means to leave, I’m ok and recovering.

Happy Valentine's Day, I wrote about murder! An honor and a privilege to review for @nytimesbooks 🖤 nytimes.com/2023/02/14/boo…

My profile of Paul Harding is in print this weekend!! (And you can read it online here too: nytimes.com/2023/01/22/boo…)
