I’m excited to post the first asset for #tpop crafted by an actual professional—the gifted & talented @mhpiep at @putnambooks . I hope you’ll agree that this is a vast improvement upon my own amateurish efforts. Many thanks to Molly & to @lorigottlieb_author for offering such kind words about #thepowerofparting!

Today’s #empirecup #sumo tournament was a huge success! Even bigger crowds & more #rikishi than last year. Many kudos & thanks to sponsor @halfsumo_collective , organizer @nysumoclub , & my fellow volunteers. I was working the merch table most of the day, so I only got a few shots, of which this is my favorite: one of the gold medalists getting a well-deserved dap from a fan
I’m happy & honored to welcome these copies of the 🇧🇷 edition of my book to the Northern Hemisphere! Many thanks to @becaum & his colleagues at @planetadelivrosbrasil for lavishing so much care & talent on their gorgeous edition. (Not shown here: the fab French flaps & lovely illustrations they added.) See slide 2 for evidence that everything sounds cooler in Portuguese

Few things delight me more than sightings of #thepowerofparting in the wild. So, I’m most grateful to @beercanmuseum for sharing this shot of a face-out #tpop proudly showing its @mysapl tattoo!

I’m delighted to find #thepowerofparting among the “great” books about #estrangement that @jenny.bartoy recommends—especially because she has read more about the subject than almost any other human as part of her excellent work editing the new essay collection, NO CONTACT.

Some of the most positive feedback I’ve gotten from readers of #thepowerofparting concerned the book’s take on #chosenfamily. Inspired by this response, I’m writing a longer piece on that subject. My chosen family has been a profoundly healing influence in my life, & I’d love to hear from others about their experiences of this bond. It’s a complex topic, & I’m hoping to do some justice to its complexity by including as many perspectives as I can. Please DM me if you’d like to talk
🙏❤️🩹🙏
