Author Elise Hooper is back with an absolute gem of a novel. THE LIBRARY OF LOST DOLLHOUSES is a little history and little mystery, all wrapped up in a lovely, page-turning story.

I am heading to Minnesota to hang out with my literary BFF Pamela and revisiting a classic that has been so helpful to her for decades. I was saddened to learn of the passing of Melody.

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL is a hilarious graphic novel that portrays modern womanhood with wit and charm. Filled with page after page of humor and heart, you'll want two copies: one for you and one for a friend.

fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico - not because of politics but because we haven't updated our maps in like 15 years and don't remember how to do it

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.

Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

My publisher's lawyer has asked me to remind everyone that buying my postcard book and mailing those postcards to elected officials could be considered harassment.

(Check eatf.art for some places that sell my postcard book)

This is not okay. A writer's words can be tweaked by editing, but when their meaning is completely changed and the author isn't notified or allowed to pull the piece it is a huge betrayal and feels like a fraud perpetrated on the readers and the author.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · Jan 31

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
