In this week's @NewYorker, I write about India's unprecedented heat wave. "The heat has created a rise in physical, psychological, and social symptoms," one doctor told me. "We have damaged the environment so much. Now the environment is damaging us." newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

A teacher who was murdered in the Uvalde shooting last week, and her husband who died the next day of a grief heart attack, had their funerals today. Then 3 active shootings happened simultaneously tonight, and we had to decide whether to feature all 3 or focus on the deadliest.

I can’t believe I haven’t smoked a cigarette. I forgot last time I was here in Melbourne I paid 55 dollars for a pack. FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS. now I just paid fifteen for a giant bag of NUTS. I don’t know who I am anymore now isn’t that nuts
Honored to have Leg featured on @upraccess thanks to legendary Utah bookseller Catherine Weller. “He finds himself in very difficult circumstances with resilience and humor. If you like David Sedaris, you’re going to like Greg Marshall.”
I profiled Samuel R. Delany—sci-fi pioneer, gay radical, literary genius—for @NewYorker’s fiction issue newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
Flo from Progressive bitch.
Though it's been boiled down to "36 Hours," I spent a full week reporting—tri-tip eating and wine tasting, biking and gallery hopping, hiking and hot springing—in Santa Barbara for this story. My latest for the NYT. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
An auto-dependent society puts tremendous pressure on low-income people to own cars. A car can eat up someone’s budget, expose them to predatory lenders who hurt their credit, or worse. And they're getting more expensive. My latest for @voxdotcom vox.com/23753949/cars-…
Leg is in PEOPLE! Thank you, @katekilla, who calls the memoir “riotous.” “A hilarious yet loving account, this book has charm for days.” It’s been an exhausting and healing launch week, a week that reminded me that I can go home again. That I belong.
In 2021, my 40-year-old cousin was found lifeless in her Delhi apartment. Days later, her husband was arrested & charged for murder. In this week's @NewYorker, I tell the story of her death & examine the factors sustaining gender-based violence in India: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
I feel like journalists who worry they're going to be replaced by AI are telling on themselves. AI isn't making calls, interviewing sources, taking a red-eye, spending hours knocking on doors, getting lost on rural backroads. It's not reporting. And aggregation isn't journalism.
How I Made Sure I Was Being Heard in the Workplace by Wearing Big Swishy Cargo Pants: ow.ly/JeBe50Ooxfa
As a reader, I’m constantly checking Kirkus for their often blunt appraisal. They’re where I go when I just want to know if I should read the damn thing. As a debut memoirist, I’ve been trembling in the corner for months, fearfully punching L-e-g into their search bar. Phew!
Our first trade review for LEG is glowing, from @KirkusReviews 🦵✨@gregrmarshall “A zesty, forthright series of humorous, heartfelt, and often wincingly oddball anecdotes…A sparkling portrait of personal discovery.” kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/g…
A box of Legs arrived today (out June 13) and my eyes weren’t open in a single picture.
Working. With a friend showing me the way.
