I loved you so much, Rayya. Thank you for letting me walk with you right to edge of the river. It has been the greatest honor of my life. I would tell you to rest in peace, but I know that you always found peace boring. May you rest in excitement. I will always love you.
Dear Congress, Here are my thoughts and prayers today
Thoughts: Leaders who care more about appeasing the gun lobby than protecting children’s lives are not fit to lead
Prayers: That all such leaders be voted out of office

Join me and my pal
@Lin_Manuel
(and a bunch of other good souls) to deliver 30,000 holiday gifts to kids in Puerto Rico, just in time for Three Kings Day! I love this act of love:
So proud to be marching today with my 19-year-old niece, Mimi. These brave young Americans are our best hope. (By the way,
@GOP
, you should be nervous about Mimi, too: She votes in PENNSYLVANIA. These kids are coming for you, old men.)
Onward

I’m so proud of my friends

for THE SAWBONES BOOK — a funny, smart, fascinating and gorgeously illustrated book about all the batshit crazy medical stuff people have done over the ages. I love it! You can order here:
Dear Ones: I’ve written a new novel, CITY OF GIRLS, and it will be coming out 6/4/2019! This is the most fun, sexy, light novel I have ever written. I’m really excited- it’s been so healing and life-affirming for me to write it.

My magnificent Rayya died a year ago today. In her honor, I would like to share with you this story I told about her recently at The Moth... Rayya: You will forever rule, and I will forever love you...
I am excited to share that the galley of my new novel CITY OF GIRLS is here! I'm giving away a few advance copies, so you can be one of the first to read before it comes out on 6/4. Head to my Instagram or Facebook for the chance to win!
This video of Rayya rocking out in pure joy just a few months before she died (celebrating life despite cancer & handling that cane like a mic stand...yeah!) brings me delight every time I watch it. She was epic. Thank you all for the love & support
