Nonfiction editor at Penguin Random House. I put the chic in Chicago Manual of Style.
Exciting news: I saw @louisevans.bsky.social read an absolutely KILLER short story.
I am simply at a Phoebe Bridgers album release event at a planetarium in New Jersey.

The singer/songwriter/bandleader got married! Everyone stream "Unravel" by Ellisa Sun (and all her other music, much of which features my husband on bass)!
It took me like 25 years of Jack White fandom, but I finally made it to Third Man Records today. (Shoutout to @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social and @levin.bsky.social in the last pic.)
I just think if your organization is called "Blood Center," this is not the most reassuring location to call from.
I forgot to tell you all I went to the Cloisters and saw a unicorn, a Peruvian peanut man, a Mexican bat god, and some medieval playing cards.
