@sribee11 Okay but how do you go to LA and not even tell a dude who flew two places to see you — then yawn (uncovered) in his face twice? It’s not the dating independence that makes her unlikable, it’s the rudeness!

@Egangoonsquad @simonschuster Ha, gosh, thank you. Now I feel entirely unobservant! 🤣 Needless to say, I appreciate you, and I think your literary work is truly amazing. We, as readers, are lucky to have you.

@JessWins @simonschuster Ok here’s the trick: those small icons on the home page each lead to the first page of a chapter in CANDY HOUSE. Certain words are highlighted in the text, and those highlights link to related chapters—both within CANDY HOUSE and in GOON SQUAD.

@Egangoonsquad @simonschuster Thanks so much for getting back to me! I did, of course, find your website; I just couldn’t find the section where one can move back and forth between some overlap in the two books, which is referred to on the S&S site. Sorry for being unclear!

@Kent_in_Utah @transfemby @gabemschneider /Embryo. Meaning, the word abortion itself umbrellas both of those. (Also, factually this divide is “pro-choice” and “anti-choice,” but you insist that accuracy isn’t the right naming strategy, so, okay, I won’t argue that. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

@Kent_in_Utah @transfemby @gabemschneider Your original premise is incorrect. The terms anti-abortion (rights/access) & pro-abortion (rights/access) absolutely do NOT frame the issue in terms of women’s rights & not (umm) “fetal rights.” The word abortion defines an act that affects both the pregnant person & the fetus.

Has anyone at the New York Times publicly explained why they use "pro-life" instead of "anti-abortion," which is the AP Style preference?

@ba_lyons Thank you! I’m the first person in my family to graduate college, and becoming a PhD / prof. is definitely one of my greatest achievements. Navigating college life hits differently when your parents can’t advise you. I’m glad to be able to offer that perspective to my students.

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD. I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight. If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.

@Mom2Tomas @claudiamconwayy @gtconway3d I am not talking about his past or leanings. I’m saying his statement wasn’t a lie. I’m staunchly progressive and pro-Roe, and not even saying I like Conway. I’m making a point that bad rhetoric helps / persuades no one, and we need real help and persuasion now more than ever.

@JessWins @claudiamconwayy @gtconway3d You do know that Conway has been involved with the Federalist Society/Leonard Leo for over 35 years, right? They're conservative activists who have been working for DECADES to dismantle Roe v. Wade by getting conservatives appointed to the Court. Nice try, though.

@Library02375 @Mom2Tomas @claudiamconwayy @gtconway3d Critical thinking, research methodologies, argumentation and persuasive writing, usually through the lens of social justice issues. (Though anyone could parse a sentence’s validity.) Calling someone who didn’t make an actual claim about an outcome a liar doesn’t hold much water.

@Mom2Tomas @claudiamconwayy @gtconway3d Ummm. What about “I think” and “it’s unlikely” is a lie? He thought wrong. It might of been unlikely, but unlikely things happen. None of an educated guess that ended up wrong is a lie. 🤣🤣🤣 Nice try, though.
