This is how you do “electability.” JFC it’s not that hard, dems.

Yesterday I joined a book club that was discussing ENDPAPERS, which is always such a joy & honor! Even better, one of the readers confessed that the description made her think it was a sci-fi time-traveling mystery! All I can say is, dang, where were she and her great idea when I was writing it?? 😆

A copy of Endpapers. The cover features a collage of a person’s face on a yellow background. The collage is made from torn horizontal strips of photographs and colorful paper. The top half of the face is feminine and the bottom is masculine.

A lovely group of people sitting around a large table strewn with drinks and snacks. Everyone is pretending to read Endpapers. I am among them, smiling.

I just read a beautiful essay by @dylanlandis.bsky.social in @theflreview.bsky.social. I’ll be thinking about this one a lot.

Cover of the spring 2026 issue of the Florida review. It features a detail of a colorful illustration of tropical leaves and flowers.

The opening page of an essay titled “the eye through which my mother sees me,” by Dylan Landis. The essay begins: “for once, my parents are home from the hospital at the same time. My mother is breathing with both of her lungs; my father’s bones have finally knit.”

The most excited anyone will ever be to watch me writing—because of the ribbon bookmark and elastic band attached to my notebook 😹😻

Good morning to whoever's been buying one or two copies a week of ENDPAPERS!

A hardcover copy of ENDPAPERS next to two bookmarks designed after the cover. The cover features a collage of a person's face made from horizontal scraps of torn paper and photographs. The top half of the face is feminine and the bottom half is masculine.

I mistook the video play button for a very cool collar. Now I want to alter a shirt.

Paul McCartney sits on the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theater for Stephen Colbert's Late Show. He's wearing a black jacket with a white button-up shirt. The video play button over the still image looks like a fancy collar for the shirt.
