It's one of my favorite days of the year: the @BookerPrize2022 longlist announcement! I'm thrilled to see Trust, by Hernan Diaz on the list -- I was floored by this novel. And some of these weren't even on my radar; my TBR list is growing.
We are delighted to announce the #BookerPrize2022 longlist! From debut novels to returning Booker Prize authors, find out more about the longlisted books and authors: thebookerprizes.com/the-book… @ShahidhaBari @hrcastor @amabanckou @mjohnharrison
My friend Robin moved to Alabama to run the West Alabama Women's Clinic. They had to stop performing procedures immediately, and are raising money to send their patients whose appointments were canceled to other states. I donated $500. Please join me.

Evacuated from the @mn_orchestra due to a fire emergency. I think there are five trucks here now. The choir from the second piece is entertaining the crowd on the Orchestra's front lawn.

I'll take Tami Taylor all day every day.

This is important. Please retweet and share. Robin runs a clinic in Alabama and is already hearing from folks who think they can't get their care.

What a great list. I absolutely loved The Index of Self-Destructive Acts, so I'm especially rooting for Christopher Beha here, but all are worthy of this recognition. Congratulations!
Today we have the honor of announcing the 2022 finalists for the #JoyceCarolOatesPrize: #ChristopherBeha, @PercivalEverett, @legroff, @KatieKitamura, and @JasonMott. Read the press release here: bit.ly/3Mfu9aU Congratulations, finalists!

Well this is fun! Fingers crossed that the Saints can find this couple (and that they're still happily together!).
HELP US FIND THIS COUPLE: In a deep archive search we stumbled across this sweet proposal dating back to 1998 at Midway Stadium. RT to help us bring them back for the Saints 2022 Home Opener on April 12! #ClassicSaints
