"When you write a novel, you are alone in it. I wrote that novel alone, sitting in airports, and coffee shops, and lying in bed. But when writing, there is always for me a hope that one day I will not be alone. Not in this work, and not in this world. It is a bit like that old children's pool game, Marco Polo, where one person closes their eyes and swims round the pool trying to tag someone else. 'Marco!' the person with eyes closed says, as the other pool-goers have to answer, 'Polo!' 'Marco! Marco! Marco!' cries one kid. And the others reply, 'Polo! Polo! Polo!' Writing is like that for me. Like I'm typing, 'Marco! Marco! Marco!' for years. And then finally the work is finished, and someone reads it and says, 'Polo!'" -John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis

so I finished reading my new book

Phwoah dads, I was shocked to see John Green cursing this much but nonetheless agree that everyone who can should try Keats and Co, phummina phummina. (Also all the profit goes to charity *sexy end screen dance*)

motherfuckers will be like "i don't even like tea" have you fucking tried keats and co?

because what you MEAN is that you don't like fucking celestial seasonings or tazo like no shit you don't THEY SUCK.

Call me when you've drunk some real tea.

The thing is, when you lose someone, you realize you’ll eventually lose everyone…. And once you know that, you can never forget it.

I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.

It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn't the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.

In June 2021 I was reading my favorite book, The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, in the psych ward, feeling completely hopeless and alone.

Today I was reading my favorite book, The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, in the waiting room to go to the first doctor visit on the road to start testosterone.

I know how it feels to think that you would be better off dead, but today I also know that:

"You can't see the future coming-not the terrors, for sure, but you also can't see the wonders that are coming, the moments of light-soaked joy that await each of us"

Mid-April progress check for @batmanisagatewaydrug’s 2025 Book Bingo! This month I completed two bingos, which I’m pretty pleased about.

Notes below the cut.

Reread a childhood favorite - Carry On (2015) by Rainbow Rowell - calling this a “childhood” favorite might be pushing it, but I was obsessed with this book in high school. It’s interesting to re-read ten years later—it’s much more fanfic-y than I remember in some ways, and more literary in others.

Published before 1950 - Passing (1929) by Nella Larsen - this was a first-time read for me but I really enjoyed it! Larsen’s prose was really clear and the characterization really compelling; Irene, the narrator/protagonist, makes such a clever little heel turn, and I really didn’t see the ending coming.

Graphic novel, comic book, or manga - Under the Red Hood (2005) - I have Jason Todd disease and it’s incurable

Animal on the cover - Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez (2025) - honestly the dog on the cover was barely in this book and also this book fucked me up, emotionally-speaking. Idk why Jimenez shoehorns a random pet into every book but it boggles the mind.

Memoir - You Could Make This Place Beautiful (2023) by Maggie Smith - I wanna fight this woman’s ex-husband so badly

Nonfiction - Everything is Tuberculosis (2025) by John Green - I wanna fight healthcare injustice so badly

Romance novel - The Wedding Date (2018) by Jasmine Guillory - PURE fluff but honestly I needed it this month.

I read a ton of other romance also. Up to 31 total books for the year!

"Thomas Edison's last words were "It's very beautiful over there". I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful."

Looking at history through any single lens creates distortions, because history is too complex for any one way of looking to suffice.

[sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog]

My new book Everything Is Tuberculosis comes out March 18th.

I'm signing 100,000 copies of the first printing. You can preorder a signed copy here or wherever books are sold.

This has been the most fulfilling (and heartbreaking) writing experience of my life so far. I really hope you enjoy the little book that resulted from it.
