I’m here pairing books with donuts at @BookvillExiles till 12ish for #IndieBookstoreDay. Stop by!
New York Magazine had a bunch of us go back into our emails from TWENTY FRICKIN YEARS AGO and write about one of them. I loved doing this, and I’m in some great company here. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
From 10-ish to 12-ish, I’ll be at @BookvillExiles on Mich Ave (in Chicago) for #indiebookstoreday, recommending books for you. Stop by! There might be donuts!
Ewwww. This is a horrendous take for 53 reasons, one of which is that MOST of your favorite writers also teach and another of which is that teaching smart students makes your writing better. Some of us (clutch your pearls) teach voluntarily.

I wrote two Subst*k posts recently on character interiority in fiction (common mistakes, ways to go deep), and I promised examples... So this week I've picked apart the beginnings of stories by Edward P. Jones and Alice Munro, and they were delicious. (L*nk in next comment.)
This is happening at StoryBall, and it's gonna be silly fun. Please join us for the Chicago literary party of the year!

You expect what?!?! Wow!
This is the type of stuff that gets me angry. We expect good faith from our police officers and in my 38 years, I’ve seen multiple lies on police reports. Who is training these people?
I am generally an "it's just make-believe" guy about this kind of stuff but was watching a show where a racist cop in the early 90s says "sex worker" and come on now
@erikhane I thought "I'm a professor" meant "I'm not trespassing".
@erikhane @Glenn__Kenny The internet broke people.
@erikhane Also I'm sorry but nearly any tactic to get out of an arrest is a good one. Arrests aren't fucking photo ops.
@erikhane @allahliker screaming “I HOPE YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE HERE” at the old Jewish grandmother getting body slammed to the concrete by three cops
@erikhane also you’re SUPPOSED to use said privilege so others won’t get attacked. it’s putting yourself in the frontlines
@erikhane @Very__Regular Exactly. Professor seemed to be trying to use her power to meet their power and appeal to their greater humanity (to not harm the student protestors). That the police were indifferent to that is just sad, not something to be snarky about.
@erikhane Hasn't it always been a common protest tactic for those with more privilege to be seen and heard being arrested because it makes it harder for those watching at home to distance themselves from the protestors?
@erikhane @Very__Regular I love how they can't even conceive that maybe saying "I'm a professor" while on the grounds of the university you work at is more than white privilege. Maybe it's a statement that they're allowed to be there? Maybe it's a statement that they can help deescalate? There's options!
@erikhane when you're being brutalized by police it's so important to keep saying "i know i am not immune to this" and "i am checking my privilege" otherwise you're doing it wrong
If this is your response to someone who is out at a protest getting thrown to the ground by police, I’m certain you are not interested whatsoever in actual solidarity or building power of any kind 👍
Good morning, writers! Only TWO WEEKS (May 10!) until our breakfast and book club with the inimitable @jerichobrown. What will he discuss? Duplex? Enjambment? The Falcons' head-scratching 1st-round draft pick? You better register now so you can find out! storystudiochicago.org/classes/ticket…
@rebeccamakkai lol only the smart ones? Teaching students at all levels is kind of the point id say
@rebeccamakkai i’ve always felt teaching others made me understand language more, and it’s exciting to share that with others, honestly
