@BryanAlexander Congratulations, Bryan! Glad to be acknowledged in this book 🙏🏽

It's a career highlight to receive the Ness Book Award for my _Universities on Fire_. Even better is the opportunity for academic leaders to take more action on climate change.

my speculative climate essay was included in @GrubWriters' Our Planet Our Stories anthology 🙏🏽 You can read the full collection here: grubstreet.superhumane.net/pdfs/GrubStree…

essays for my collection-in-progress (or whatever it is i’m writing) are in various stages of polish. took stock of them today and realized i just hit ~50,000 words🥹

My contribution and response to the #h1bvisa discourse is of course a lyric essay. If any lit mag out there is looking for something personal and timely, pls hmu! 🙏🏽 #H1B

Pls read GrubStreet's anthology, Our Planet, Our Stories, where my speculative essay "Ten Years After Typhoon Haiyan, I Forgot to Tweet About the Disaster" is included. Thanks 🙏🏽 grubstreet.org/blog/grubstree…

Decided to cap the first draft at 3500. It's about languages and how my brain works, meaning it's quite unhinged but also hopefully brilliant 🤣

my planned 750-word flash essay from 3 weeks ago is now over 2,500 words and it’s not yet done. pls send help

I was very torn between two book launches tonight: Best American Essays 2024 vs another author's. No regrets going to this one 👍🏽 @booksmithtweets
