Oh, Megan--thank you so much!! And speaking of women and secrets, I can't WAIT to get my copy of BEWARE THE WOMAN...counting down the days to May 30!!

Everyone talks about women becoming “invisible” to men as we age. Idk about that, but the older I get, the more compliments I get from random women and *that* fucking rules.

Presenting the latest #Jewish lit links, with thanks to Naomi Danis, Lilith Magazine, Jewish Women's Archive, @timesofisrael, Jessica Steinberg, and others for sourcing. wp.me/p4x0h8-cPQ #JAHM

She did not love him enough. She would say she loved him, and mean it to a certain extent, and she wanted to be loved by him, but there was a little hum of hate running along beside her love, nearly all the time. - “Post and Beam”

Treat yourself to a big discount on a very queer tale of art v. Big Data. Robin Sloan (Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hr Bookstore) was glad he did! #BookTwitter #BookFriday #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth #LGBTQ

Wtf?

SIR CALLIE AND THE CHAMPIONS OF HELSTON is a must read middle grade medieval fantasy🗡️@EsmeSymesSmith wrote an incredible book about four brave kids who can finally be themselves and heal together. I can’t wait to read more of Callie, Willow, El, and Edwyn’s adventures 🐉💚

I’d probably persist with tension too if my kid was killed in their classroom while police did nothing.

Even now, in the middle of possibly the worst moment since 1948, there are groups of Palestinians and Jews working to forge a future together. Because there's no other future. Any word or action that helps these people move forward is good. Anything that pulls us apart is bad.

University Press Week starts Monday and the lineup of events—with b-boy bouiebaisse, Susan Kiyo Ito, Samuel Moyn 🔭, Dan Sinykin, and more—is the best I’ve seen in 20+ years of watching the field. Love that the official graphic features Julie Green’s art from her OSU Press book with Kirk Johnson.

Factoid: Since 1929, not a single day has passed without Arabs killing, or trying to kill, Jews. Even during peak peace (1993 Oslo-2000), Hamas never stopped suicide bombings. Will leave this here for those who argue that Arabs/Palestinians tried peace, but were always rebuffed

Thank you, Scoundrel Time, for nominating my story for a Pushcart prize!

Today's #JewishBookMonth re-up: a 2017 piece for National Book Critics Circle on Rachel Hall's HEIRLOOMS. As I reread it, I realize that the word "Jewish" doesn't appear there. Rest assured: This is a very Jewish book. #JewishPride bookcritics.org/2017/01/12/res…

Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man. Governor Parson had the responsibility to save this innocent life, and he didn’t. The NAACP was founded in 1909 in response to the barbaric lynching of Black people in America — we were founded exactly because of people like
