A fellow carrot top, a nickname I hated when I was growing up 😂

Super helpful thread for experts trying to decide whether an academic or trade press is best for their book. As an agent who reps scholars in different disciplines, this is a question I often field. The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein's take is spot-on & more concise than my long-winded self can manage.

If any disability scholars out there are as pissed off as me about the way Fetterman's accessibility needs are being framed and want to write about it for Nursing Clio, I'll happily fast track it. Transparently ableist garbage.

Irwin Linker, my FIL, my children's only living grandfather, our namesake, passed away. He fostered the life of the mind and creativity, from which I & many others benefited. May we keep your memory alive in our work and art ❤

I just completed and sent the entire book manuscript for SLOUCH to my editor and agent! I probably want to sleep more than party, lol.

My brain won't quite accept the thought that Trump is going to announce another run for president. The worst possible thing for this country. Worse than another Biden term. Worse than President DeSantis. Just, as Trump himself might say, a complete disaster.

Hey look! American exceptionalism....but not the good kind. The American Exception, by Damon Linker damonlinker.substack.com/p/the-american…

Big shooting in my home city of Philadelphia last night. 3 dead, 11 injured. That’s our American reality now. Some thoughts on why we’re stuck living like this —> damonlinker.substack.com/p/the-real-rea…
