My book comes out today! It’s sad and funny and a little spooky and a lot mysterious and very weird, and you can buy it wherever fine books are sold in indie stores bookshop.org/p/books/happ...

Hope the Act 2 scene change goes good, me and the boys have been working on it for a month

About twice a week I accidentally dress like a stage tech whose big show is tonight

A sent text with a selfie of Frances, a white person with short dark hair. She is wearing all black and showing a very millennial cringe peace sign. The next text says “dressed like a stage tech again”

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! If you want to get into the Halloween spirit and want to support Indigenous people, may I suggest you pick up Never Whistle At Night, edited by Shawn Hawk with an introduction by Stephen Graham Jones.

I always leave judging with a lot more sympathy for my husband. Being married to a former debate kid is a lot.

God I love judging high school debate. Where else can I hear a fifteen year old girl contend that the UK losing the pound would be on par with Native American genocide
