People act like ChatGPT is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it's actually the serpent.

What we read today was shaped by economic forces that transformed publishing decades ago. 📚 In BIG FICTION, Dan Sinykin explains how consolidation, new distribution systems & chain bookstores created the conditions for a new publishing mode 🎧 futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/big... 🧵

You know what they say. It's a dag i dag world. 📆

We outside all day. YERRRRRRRR! (Bringing the NYC to the poetry festival.)

When you go to the stoop opera show and someone in the crowd recognizes you from that time you sung Pagliacci at a karaoke mixer. 🎭 Me and www.theoperanextdoor.org both bringing the culture to the people.

Feeling lucky today. 🍀

I am very bad at posting but I am still doing things in the world. I have proof. www.instagram.com/p/DY-r9SvgQsi/

There are sheep in my book which means petting the sheep at the zoo counts as research.

Still waiting for the moment that will make all the preceding moments feel worth it. I am so very tired.

For NYC locals, consider checking out Buskerball on Saturday. It is free and in the park this year! A day full of street performers and artists. I know most of the folks and they are great folks. I will also be around and I will write you a poem about almost anything. buskerball.com

It's April 1st. Confess your darkest secrets and let the shades of doubt linger.

I've literally seen at least eight colors this year. Why are we supposed to pick only one of them?

Halloween implies the existence of Oatesoween.

What's my author brand? I don't know. Weird little guys? Being friends with animals? Eccentrics? Crying a lot? Wait, did you mean the books or myself? (It's the same.) #AuthorSky

Anyone else waggle their finger over the screen to "pet" the cute #animals on them, or are you normal?

Tinker Bell is dying. Please clap.

You're beautiful and you matter. 💝

Skipping the prologue? In this economy? #ReaderSky #Books

We were supposed to bring vibes to the function? I left all my vibes at home. This is so embarrassing...

I don't use crutch words. I hoard words into piles and recline on them luxuriously like a dragon. #Writers

Maybe you'll never develop magical powers or discover a grand destiny or be summoned for some epic adventure, but absolutely no one can stop you from entering your Don Quixote era.

Tortoise, but you pronounce it like Eloise.

If you point out your editing services on a post where nobody asked even a little bit, you do not have the reading comprehension skills I'm looking for in an editor. #Authors #AuthorSky

I don’t have imposter syndrome. I think I have cool ideas and do a good job of executing them most of the time too. The problem is that I’m barely functional in every single other aspect of life and that makes it really challenging to execute them, and especially to see any gains by it.

Imagine calling everyone phonies when your entire personality is based on misheard song lyrics. 🙄 #Books

@bsky.app asking if I want to just open a link in my default browser. The real MVP. 🙏🤩

Well I guess I'm here now too. #Bluesky #New
