- I wrote a mean letter on behalf of The Chicago Public Library because I care maximum that their budget might be getting slashed. Give it a gander if you give a fuck about public libraries: thetriibe.com/2025/12/opin...

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here- The author disabled quotes.Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...
- Just a quick reminder for any duckies who want to meet me and hear me talk about Hollis! There are still a few tickets left! Tickets and info here: andersonsbookshop.com/event/2025-0...

- #1 Orange Banner day for my new son. Hollis Brown, bully of jocks (who then kick his ass) was such a fun concept to write. They’re all like “Bro why is he so mean 🙁”

- Today is the day!!! Happy birthday HOLLIS BROWN! Thank you so much everyone, I’m so excited to finally share this absolutely wild book with you all! 👻🔥
- I know y'all are just about ready for this marketing cycle to be over lol. Anyway, THE CORRUPTION OF HOLLIS BROWN is out on Tuesday and I'm so excited for you to meet my new sons 😊
- I do feel like a fair amount of people log on to the internet just for the chance to be able to scold someone else. It’s a partisan issue. I think it feels good to them and satisfies them deeply in a way nothing else will. Not sure what we do about this, I just know it’s true.
- It sucks so bad that a lot of clothes being sold today are made of the sort of fabric that we would have relegated for use as a skirt lining or a Halloween costume back in 1999.
