I’m so excited (and very nervous 🫣) to announce that the “Bring a Grand Gesture Books storefront to Portland, Oregon” GoFundMe is live! Please share, donate, and politely harass your friends about it. I want this so bad 💕 gofundme.com/f/bring-grand-…

I've worked with both Mo and Maya. And I believe Maya, and am glad that Mo is being held accountable. The Portland music scene has a bad history of protecting abusers instead of the people they harm.

These are the poets and writers who have been murdered by Israel in Gaza. lithub.com/these-are-the-…

The results are in: with 92% approval, the workers at @Powells have voted to authorize a strike! What this means, what you can do to help, and what happens next… 🧵

A lot of people seem to believe that Oppenheimer never went to Japan, and never interacted with Japanese people. I'm grateful for the research that @pdparrwriter put into this piece and wish that some of these scenes were depicted in the movie

"I’ve often tried to keep music out of my personal essays and fiction. Music is a big part of my life, and I always worry that if I let it in it’ll just take over." @joshuajamberson shared a playlist for his essay collection Staring Contest largeheartedboy.com/2023/05/16/jos…

5/16 @ 7pm — @joshuajamberson presents STARING CONTEST, his relentlessly curious series of detours through oft-ignored aspects of vision and vision loss. Joined in conversation by @elenavox. powells.com/book/staring-c…

Powell’s workers braved today’s heat to flyer outside the Hawthorne store & let folks know that the Company *continues to offer a starting wage more than $5 below the living wage for Portland*. If you missed getting a flyer, here’s what you can do to support Powell's workers 🧵

Three weeks from tonight: the release of our tenth book, featuring @joshuajamberson in conversation with @elenavox. Thanks to @Powells for hosting!

Three months from now I'll have my MFA. Putting it out there now that I'm seeking teaching appointments (low res MFAs + conferences, etc.) Email if you're looking for someone w/solid teaching experience, a book, & CNF speciality (memoir, essay, hybrid forms, and journalism).

Today I’ll be moderating this dream-team #AWP23 panel about being in both the literary world and the zine world. It’ll be fun!

My first full-length essay collection comes out in May on @PerfectDayPub and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ll surely blab about this further, but today’s the final day of the early bird preorder sale, so I’ll just say I appreciate all you pre-orderers. perfectdaybooks.com/shop/staringco…
