Oh please.
We are at AWP today through Saturday. Stop by to hear about new initiatives at The Rumpus, our redesign, buy amazing books from my imprint and merch and also we have candy and swag! Booth 1240.
We can’t pretend that something isn’t terribly wrong. And in turn it puts added pressure on all women to conform to that.
This has really been on my mind lately. GLP-1s are surfacing. a pathology that has always been there. And now some women are out here looking whatever is well past gaunt. Their skin is stretched over sharp bone and no they shouldn’t be criticized for it but we can’t pretend we don’t see it!
By any chance do any of you work at qr.io?
All my friends are sending me the same essay asking if I’ve seen it. Yes! I have. Yes. We must talk about it.
What on earth is the law firm thing about? And why this sudden reversal? Are the incompetent or just unhinged?
Why would the fat joke be cool if she’s riffing on whatever?
OMG thank goodness. I was v stressed because Chris seemed really upset about the move.
The SecDef basically confessing to war crimes is an interesting choice.
There's no way Chris and Miguel on this episode of House Hunters are still together. Like... YIKES!
No pressure but I sure would love to read the Age of Vice sequel.
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
My latest review for @bookforum.bsky.social is also out now. In it, I think alongside Namwali Serpell’s resplendently rigorous new book on Toni Morrison about the last greatest living writer’s legacy and how we’re meant to read her.
You have made being a disappointmet your life’s mission so congrats on that I guess.
That would be….civillians
I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.
Easier to believe the worst about yrself
Oh Greg. I am so sorry for your loss. Truly.
I love seeing all the love (richly deserved) for Eva. Y'all are good eggs.
I wish I could link to the years' worth of pictures/information about MacPark meals I posted on the old site, but Eva has done so much good for so many people. She's why I know how long it takes to make 48+ quarts of pasta salad, fried rice, pulled pork, & more. She gets shit done. Help if you can!
Here's what The Rumpus will be up to at AWP 2026! therumpus.net/2026/02/27/t... And we're having a soiree!
Eva Woods is a tireless community leader in Los Angeles who has, for years, spearheaded care for our neighbors in MacArthur Park. She was recently assaulted and needs help to pay for extensive medical bills. If you can support, friends have organized a GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...
LOL. The farce of it all. The stupidity is endemic.
Here is a direct donation link. Please use it. I just did.

I am black. I have traveled the world. So I do l know what I am saying when I say racism is a universal truth. You’re being a complete dick and I’m not even sure why.
These men are so grimy. So unoriginal.
