Sure, I’ll awkwardly RT semi-old, good news so I can pin it to my profile. 😅.

Here is your reminder that Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested & jailed for over 6 weeks because she co-authored an op-ed that offended the government. Whatever your politics, that is genuinely dystopian.

@TaylorByas3 I LOVE THIS! Congratulations!

My second full length, RESTING BITCH FACE, goes to print today (and comes out in August)!!!!! Have you preordered yet??? You shoulddd: softskull.com/books/resting-…

There is good news all around us, even now! Here’s some:

We are SO THRILLED that our own Flash Editor @amy_stuber_ has been awarded the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection!!! Congratulations, Amy! We are so proud of you!

@blgtylr me too.

@MaureenLangloss Beautiful. Sending you love today.

I seriously had the best mom. She was so much fun. I’m going to dwell in the joy & good fortune of having had one of the greats today. I hope her spirit has found its way into how I mother. Because, if it has, then my kids are lucky too. Love you, Babs! Love to all the moms today

Please read this thread. It is so important to pay attention to all the horrible things these corrupt & craven congress people are trying to shove down our throats.

@MaureenLangloss Yeah. I’m thinking of shutting down my account.

You know Twitter is dead when you post a picture of a very cute dog & it gets no likes. Such a shame what has happened to this place.

YES! @SenBooker is still on the Senate floor! I'm sure Fox News is calling this a publicity stunt. But I say, BRING ON THE PUBLICITY. Keep talking. Be loud. We want our Democratic senators to bring the truth to the light, to fight for us, to stand the fuck up.

@MaureenLangloss @SenBooker This is giving me life today!

@splitlipthemag @_iloveyoudaniel @rgay Fantastic!! ❤️

So much magic happens at AWP! Our InteR/e/views Editor @_iloveyoudaniel asked @rgay to sign a skillet! And she did! Skillet pictured below: "To Daniel— Keep it spicy! Roxane Gay"

@AmericanAir That’s odd. You’re 100% out of touch with circumstances.

@ruthlefaive That's odd. We're showing this flight has been delayed for weather and has an expected departure time of 6:40p.

Hi @AmericanAir what’s up with flight aa5883 out of CLT? Seems to have dropped off your app.
