I'm not using Twitter as much anymore but I started a Substack 💌 It's called Humor Science and it features interviews with humor writers. Also, if you have a newsletter, please share it, I want to subscribe to more newsletters 💕 ysabelyates.substack.com/p/c…

WHEW it is happening. I’m co-writing a satirical joke book with my friends!
We spent the past year+ writing this book from inside our respective bedrooms over Zoom. It’s what got me through! ❤️ @daniellekraese @why_yates @KateHerzlin @agentsaba @AndrewsMcMeel @in_a_partydress

Can’t wait to write a whole book’s worth of feminist jokes with three of my favorite funny folks in an endless loop of asking one another, “Is this anything?” Thanks to @agentsaba & @in_a_partydress @AndrewsMcMeel, looks like it actually is! @_alikelley @daniellekraese @why_yates
