NYC come out to @ptknitwear next week November 12 for this incredible panel on writing family with @penamerica. 07 Nov 2026

Join us on November 12 at @ptknitwear for Modern Families: Expansive Depictions of Love, featuring Jamilah Lemieux (@jamilahlemieux), National Book Award finalist Joe Osmundson (@bluurgh), and Cat Fitzpatrick (@intermittentcat) for a conversation about the many ways we build families, find belonging, and care for one another. From friends who become family to queer kinship and Black single motherhood, we’ll celebrate the relationships that sustain us while asking what it really takes to build a loving home in a world that doesn’t always make it easy — moderated by Adriana Ladouceur (@bringme_books). Doors open at 6:30 pm, with the talk starting closer to 7:00 pm. Come early and grab a drink from the P&T Cafe! Get details and tickets at the link in our bio. 05 Nov 2026

I am a writer, and I am without words. SPAWNING SEASON is a *finalist* for the National Book Award. The party continues! My only words are: THANK YOU. Thank you to anyone who read this book, supported it, came to an event, shared it with friends. It's a community effort, for us, by us. 06 Oct 2026

“At the same time I wanted to be pregnant, I learned to drive a tractor.” I don’t know what I thought this was going to be. Wouldn’t have cared. Would have read it anyway because the author is the brilliant @bluurgh Joe Osmundson. I did not expect to cry so hard by the end; for Joe, genetics, Fry, all the little queer kids and not. Spawning Season: An Experiment in Queer Parenthood, out now from @bloomsburypublishing 27 Sep 2026

EDIT: @electricliterature updated and expanded this list, which you can find here: https://electricliterature.com/bret-stephens-is-big-mad-at-the-best-writers-he-hasnt-read/ In response to the Bret Stephens nonsense, I spent this morning collecting actual reviews of the books he mocked alongside links where YOU CAN BUY THEM!!! Feel free to share this if you want to uplift writers and READ BOOKS as opposed to being afraid of PR copy and a nonexistent DEI jump-scare. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g7cwfReoNCIRkZ3T5n0mqjc_UJ1pCx9PLWYic3YJUnw/edit?tab=t.0 23 Sep 2026

I was on the C train to work when the @nationalbookfoundation tagged me on this app. I put down my phone. I picked it up again. My editor called. I couldn't pick up – I was on the C train to work. I started crying. Publishing has been such a hard, beautiful journey with this book, its knife cut so close to my fish-heart. I wanted to assure the worried man sitting across from me that they were happy tears. Thank you to everyone who has read. Thank you to the @nationalbookfoundation and the jury who selected not just this book but AN INCREDIBLE LIST. Every book is worthy, as are so many others. 16 Sep 2026

Late summer 2026. The selfie story that the girls said should go on main, mostly. 07 Sep 2026

It feels somewhat surreal to report that SPAWNING SEASON was just named a Best Book of 2026 (so far) by the @newyorkermag They included the lovely, precise Briefly review that came out last month. This little fish is swimming on her way. Some days the current pushed backwards, and other days, like today, it blissfully pushes us forward. 16 Aug 2026

On the latest episode of In Collaboration With… @bgresko talks with @bluurgh about his memoir SPAWNING SEASON: AN EXPERIMENT IN QUEER PARENTHOOD. Joe discusses the different processes of writing through grief and then transforming that raw material into a book, as well as the impact reading theory has had on his life and work, and the self care he practiced while writing and now that his book is out in the world, among many other things. It’s a delightfully wide ranging convo with a brilliant, unflinchingly honest writer and thinker, and we hope that you’ll give it a listen and check out Joe’s beautiful book.

Provincetown. Bear week. Afternoon reading, come before Tea. My favorite writers of our time. Alexander. Melissa. Donika. Queerness, family, inheritance, and sex. 13 Jul 2026

What do animals teach us? What are the limits, in love or grief, of realism? It was a DELIGHT to write in @electricliterature about gay books where animals become character and include favs like @cheemobile , @jaquiradiaz , @kristen__arnett , @mlfaliveno , @lutimestwoo , @simbler , and the favorite line, maybe, I have ever written: "There are two wolves inside me, and they are both gay, and their names are Ishmael and Queequeg." (inspired by @chanda.prescod.weinstein) https://electricliterature.com/in-these-queer-books-animals-take-on-a-mythical-importance/ LINK IN COMMENTS! See less 26 Jun 2026
