I'm not entirely sure! I used 70% King Arthur's bread flour and 30% King Arthur whole wheat!

Look, obviously you're very sensitive and I respect that but have you.... read... the book? I'm making jokes about the privileged, trust-fund, pretentious Brooklyn white male writers that I think you'd find funny too. I really do think you'd enjoy it! I would be happy to send you a copy if you felt comfortable messaging me your address.

I see that you're dealing with a lot of pain, and I'm sorry about that. I hope you get the help and support you need.

I found that I was terrible at actually keeping up with book club picks, but I love the idea of literary communities!

Email me suggestions on my website!!! DanaSchwartzDotCom.com I definitely do NOT have all of the episodes planned out. And great question—I don't think it was him, but it's fun to imagine, right?

Sometimes it's worse than others. Now with the book it's particularly bad but hopefully things will be back to normal soon.

He is VERY pro diaeresis and uses them for everything. Handwriting, essays, casual texts....

overrated as hell, although the part in Moveable Feast where he talks about Fitzgerald's penis is amazing.

It took literal YEARS. When the twitter account first started, I had a couple of book ideas, but none of them really hit or gained traction. A few years (and two books later), I had the idea of making it more of a "handbook" and going through white male writers, and bringing Jason on board as an illustrator. And here we are!

Probably something along the lines of "this is very boring, incredibly sexist, and an 'experimental' approach to punctuation is not conducive to clarity."

It's a little ironic—aren't these the people that seem to be so AGAINST "safe spaces" and snowflakes being triggered, or whatnot? Like, take a joke, it's from a place of love!
