So excited for my writing partner, Jason Gurvitz, who produced Broken Kingdom and the related documentary, Kingdom Come, which both premiere on Showtime tonight. Watch them.

Tenth of December, by George Saunders. “Victory Lap” is one of my favorite short stores ever.

My Dead Parents

ranyachantal — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:06:10 +0000

For the past two years, I’ve been writing about my family, and myself, on an anonymous Tumblr I elegantly named My Dead Parents. It’s been an incredible experience, but one I didn’t really own until today, when I revealed myself as the blog’s author in an essay on Buzzfeed. So, if you’ve ever found yourself wondering what happens in the deepest depths of my mind, here you go. Have at it.

Update: The response to this project has been incredible. I am shocked, thrilled, and grateful.

So happy that my story “Bang” got a shout out in the LA Times’ review of the current issue of NOON. It’s a great issue and is full of outstanding work.

Ukrainian killer dolphins on the loose in the Black Sea

“Using old Soviet Union techniques, Ukrainian scientists trained dolphins to attack and kill swimmers using knives and guns strapped to the heads of said dolphins…Today, the dolphins escaped.” Really, Ukraine??? (Via)
