The J Crew men’s pink sweater is causing some online debate. I don’t mind wearing pink but this thing? Too grandma (sorry, Grandma). You?

Happy birthday to Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte (1898 – 1967). Took this photo of Magritte's "Double Secret" at the Centre Pompidou in Paris a few years back.

People laughed at the Tiger Beat headlines in my latest (1977) novel, To Refrain From Embracing. Headlines like “The Real Reason Farrah Fawcett-Majors Cries Herself to Sleep”. The truth is they are actual headlines from 1970s teen magazines. Here are a few pages… 🤷🏻‍♂️😆 #hamont

It’s for charity! Tim Hortons’ Christmas sugar cookies - specifically the Holiday Smile Cookies - are sold as part of a charitable campaign where 100% of the proceeds from each cookie go to local charities, community groups, and the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Do I Really Write ‘Dirty Books’?
Folks often think - being a gay writer - my novels will be full of sex. It’s there… but only incidentally.🤷🏻‍♂️😆 jeffreyluscombe.substack.com/p/do-i-reall...

Popped up in my memories today: When my last novel, Shirts and Skins, was shortlisted for a Hamilton Literary Award. Spoiler: I lost. 🤷🏻‍♂️😆 A new edition of Shirts and Skins was released 2022 from Lethe Press if you haven’t read it yet. #hamont #canlit
