This is the longest piece I ever published, and with the New Yorker.

“A Palestinian Poet’s Perilous Journey Out of Gaza”

It’s about my painful experience of being separated from my family, beaten and shackled, as well as the terrorizing days before and after.
It’s published both in the print edition as well as on the New Yorker’s website.

One of my oldest friends, the novelist Paul La Farge, died this week. He was the charismatic and loving center of a vibrant group of writers and creatives for almost 30 years, and a great writer himself, especially about the secret and the strange.

My dad and best friend, John Bennet (@slothead) passed away peacefully at home, his family camped out around his bed. He loved my mom. He loved The New Yorker. He loved teaching young people. A charmed life for a poor kid from Athens, Texas. I was so blessed to have him as a dad.

"Riverman," by @mcgrathben, is a beautiful book, with shades of John McPhee and of Joseph Mitchell. It's out today: https://t.co/BPjE9QWBrf

“There is a fine line between a man of exceptional courage and a damned fool.” I review Ben McGrath’s excellent book “Riverman,” about the vanished long-distance canoeist Dick Conant.

Now we know exactly what #Linfield University is made of. Will fire an amazingly talented prof when he advocates for his students against sexual harassment & calls out anti-Semitism. We're with you @pollackpelzner

Michael Quinn, a gay Chicano Mormon historian who got kicked out of the church but kept his faith, died last night, at 77. He led a remarkable life, marked by tragedy. His work will have a long legacy. Godspeed, Mike.

[Benjamin Park @BenjaminEPark]

A lot has changed since the tense fights between Quinn and leaders in the 1990s, but his shadow still covers much of the field. @dbhaglund wrote an excellent summary of the legacy for Slate nearly a decade ago. /15 https://t.co/3MhFxePfqs

He was super passionate about bicycling. If you're worried about "using" his death to demand that DC gets its act together on bicycle infrastructure, don't be—it's what he would've wanted. His last tweet was a joke about this very subject—so true to Jim. https://t.co/uF80EfJxE5

[Michael Waters @michaelwwaters]

can’t believe I'm saying this, but I have a feature story on @NewYorker today!!!

It's about a group of social workers who, in the early '70s, quietly licensed queer people as foster parents — creating some of the earliest state-recognized queer families:

Because the bureaucracy of official aid programs is difficult to deal with, and because that aid is insufficient anyway, people in rural KY rely on local anti-bureaucratic groups like Cranks Survival. Now, tho, these groups are struggling too https://t.co/1SWfs8hg93

If you want to understand who Delonte West is, where he came from, and how he's struggled, read @dbhaglund's deep and thoughtful 2014 @Slate profile https://t.co/s9QjqoAcku

@josh_levin @WillOremus I, on the other hand, would gladly take credit for this, if I could. But I can't.

My dad died 5 yrs ago, but even b4 that, I don’t remember the last time I celebrated #fathersday. Tho my relationship w/ him was difficult & inconsistent, he believed I was a writer (said I got it from his side of the family). Here’s my poem abt/for him, in @NYTmag #FathersDay19

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

The Yemeni mother of a 2-year-old boy on life support in an Oakland hospital is being prevented from coming to the U.S. to say goodbye to her son by the Trump administration ban on travel from certain Muslim countries, the family says.

The ancient cedars of Lebanon have outlived empires and survived modern wars

Clinging to shrinking patches of territory, these trees stand for Lebanon’s resilience

Now, #climate change is pushing them to the brink and could finish them off
