Mean Girls meets Plus One by John Hare in When FairiesComes to Tea. Rosie invites the delicate flying fairies to tea, but when the class dragon gets there first, Rosie fears Duke’s fire breathing will wreck everything. #PB #JoyPit

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Editors I respect are leaving. Books sections are closing. I'm watching this industry shrink in real time, and I don't have a neat answer for what comes next—but I think pretending everything is fine is worse than talking about it.

There’s this never-ending debate about whether em dashes, semicolons, and colons have become signs of AI writing. As a result, many of us writers have stopped using them—swapping them for commas or reshaping sharp, effective sentences into something blander—to avoid suspicion.

But AI was trained on the best of us. On millions of published works by real authors. It learned from our voices, our rhythms, our punctuation. And now we’re acting as if those marks somehow belong to machines.

They don’t.

Those tools were ours long before AI existed. Our teachers taught us how and when to use them, years before anyone imagined generative AI. So let’s take them back. Let’s use the full range of language with confidence. The em dash, the semicolon, the colon—they’re not signals of artificiality. They’re signs of craft.
