At year's end, an enormous THANK YOU to all of the list-makers and round-uppers who've nodded to THE RETRIEVALS. Including @TheAtlantic, @voguemagazine, & @Vulture, which named it #1: "Brilliant, unforgettable, and the best thing I’ve heard all year.” https://t.co/wMzAWJMTiG

My husband has always brought beauty & grace to writing in miniature—one of his first jobs at The New Yorker was movie blurbs—and this thread is no exception. I am so sad about this news but proud of Mike, too, for all of the meaningful work he has done and will continue to do.

Yesterday was a surprise (a thread)

.@ambertamblyn asked wonderful questions about The Retrievals: about process, content, responses, and takeaways. Thank you! 🙏💛

I love @dcopaken's passionate response to The Retrievals: "From the moment I could hold a pen, I have spent much of my life writing down the secret pains about which I (and so many women) are urged to suck it up and stay silent." https://t.co/HEyptJCd4y

As a tweet composer I am mediocre—but script writing: that is a task that is deeply important to me. I am so thrilled to hear this. Thank you, @saraivry 🙏

I was moved by this wrenching essay. The part where the doctors ignore her severe pain for 20+ years is only the beginning. @lizzieohreally, thank you for your kind words about and serious consideration of The Retrievals. Means the world to me.

It's very exciting to me that these first two episodes are out in the world and that listeners are responding to all the different layers that are so important here. Thank you, @pamelacolloff.

"The Retrievals" is so well done. It's an exploration of women's pain and how the medical establishment so often disregards it, but it's also about so much more: infertility, addiction, betrayal, and the search for meaning in the wake of a crime. https://t.co/wD7n700wrb

Confessional-radio alert! Rebroadcast of “Secrets,” an episode that opened up a lot for me, this weekend.

EMPTY is a deal of the day! #1 in Popular Adolescent Psychology, a category to which my teenage self might have added a hyphen (Popular-Adolescent Psychology); smirked, & then felt shame, because of course "popular" always meant too much to her, even when she pretended it didn't. https://t.co/iC3YXeSnGC

RT @BellHouseNY: Don't miss seeing Jennette McCurdy discuss her new memoir in conversation with @burtonsusan at The Bell House next Tuesday…

Also grateful for a number of smart, calming Covid folks on here, including @michaelmina_lab @MonicaGandhi9 @ashishkjha @KatherineJWu 9/

Physically I feel OK: at this point, just stuffy. Psychologically is a different story: uneasy/lonely/sad. But grateful for my mild symptoms, 3 shots, and access to tests. 8/

Personally (since you may be wondering about the personally) I am not at the 10-day mark. My symptoms started on 12/16 and I got my first antigen positive on 12/20. I've tested positive every day since then. 7/
