This is clearly the work of some absolute legend at PBS.

I knew being a TERF was bad for you but I had no idea how bad.

There are lots of ways to stoke the dignity of man, but the finest way is to loosen a jar of pickles and then ask someone for help.

Post two serious dental procedures and my face is--and I'm not just bragging here--huge. The biggest it's ever been. We did it, Joe! *confetti cannon*

I’m on nitrous at the dentist and have access to my phone. Is this a bad idea?

Things…went wrong.

It was @libbabray.bsky.social. Because years ago, when this stupid, haunted tooth first raised its ugly head, there was a hurricane and we stayed with her for a week. While there, I had the Root Canal Of Doom. Knowing I was about to see her, THE TOOTH WOKE UP.

It's a sad and good thing I pulled out of St. Louis because yesterday turned into something else. Truly the worst pain I have ever been in. Trip to Urgent Care for help. Injection. Five drugs. Spreading infection. Today my face has ballooned. Emergency extraction time. And I know what caused this.

An ICE officer shot and wounded a man today around 4:00 in Manhattan. Exact details are still coming in. I'm not seeing any further information other than that the man is at a hospital now.

Happy to be able to say that The Velvet Knife is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller!

A pile of my books with a little clipping that says the book is #10 on the NYT Children's and Young Adult Series list!

I don’t love being at the endodontist but I’m somehow comforted by the fact that this is also @yokoono.bsky.social’s endodontist?

Me with my friends Dan Sinker and John Green.
