At Judith Magazine, we ran an excerpt of @fourstories's book, "Together in Manzanar: The True Story of a Japanese Jewish Family in an American Concentration Camp." judithmagazine.substack.com/…
An absolute thrill to get to talk to Sacha Pfeiffer on @NPR Morning Edition about the new book and some of the parallels between the history it reveals and the place where we find ourselves today. npr.org/2025/07/22/nx-s1-544…
Thank you, @Howard_Lovy, for helping frame this piece for JUDITH mag and for working with me on it.

A new op-ed about why the WWII US homeland camps for Japanese Americans were concentration camps—and why the Nazi camps were not. Thx to @JewishBook for the chance to make this case. jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-dai…

By major fluke I was nominated for a Queerty award! You can vote for me every day until Feb 25th. This is the only way my gay twin will take what I seriously.

Gary @Shteyngart fell in love with capybaras at least two decades before the current craze. Seeing one in the Prospect Park Zoo, he thought, “here was a being with a body as ridiculous as my own, and a sweetness that made me nostalgic for a past self.” nyer.cm/37kOqYX
