new shit! out today with @bullshitlit.bsky.social www.bullshitlit.com/blog/sea

my first interview as interviews editor with @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social is out now! w/ the poet L Scully about their book, Self-Romancing, published by @michelletea.bsky.social / Dopamine Books. You can buy their book through the link in the interview!

it’s so liberating to DNF a book that I’m not enjoying rather than forcing myself to finish it anyway. gonna start applying this principle to other areas of my life as well

I need recs for books to read when you feel like you’ve lost your ability to read. I’ve been having so much trouble focusing on anything lately, including books. I need something that I will gobble up in one sitting. No YA please but I’m open to pretty much anything else

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I just want to do whatever I want for the rest of my life without stress or hardship, is that too much to ask?

I don't care about protein

it's actually very easy to be normal to/about trans people. you all should try it sometime

“Let me stay / holy as the world moves through me. / It’s not the hole that empties me. / It’s the rupture I crave.” — Ally Ang . . . This poem appeared in Split Lip Magazine, 2025. Shared here with deep gratitude.

Poets who have published at least one full-length collection: what are some things you wish you'd known before submitting/publishing your book? What are some red flags/green flags for potential presses?

Will just be here watching this clip of Catherine O’Hara saying the word "baby" on Schitt’s Creek for the rest of the day….RIP 🥺🙏

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

Let the Moon Wobble is an Honor Book for the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Stonewall Book Award! I'm so grateful 🥰

must I state my horror? it is wordless and beyond utterance

my brain is full of static and I'm trying to detangle it into threads of coherent thought

twitter is full of nazis but bluesky is full of narcs

getting sent ARCs is exhilarating. it makes me feel so cool and fancy

it’s against my principles to drink with the man I’ve diddled

snuggle time!

I mean everything I say except when I don’t! everything about me is changing except the things that stay the same!

it's the big day

every day I thank the lord that I got off dating apps before chat gpt existed

If you live in Boston or New York, please come to my readings next week so I don’t feel like an unloved loser (trying out a new publicity tactic called “emotional manipulation”)

just finished reading my 10th book of 2026 🤭 no wonder I was voted “best reader” by my third grade class

I wish there was a generic public pronoun that was used for strangers and didn’t carry any association with a particular identity. and then once you get to know someone personally you learn their private pronoun

Let's close ACCOMPLISHMENT SUNDAY with an insightful interview 💕 Contributor @theoceanisgay.bsky.social was interviewed in Poetry Northwest on their poetry collection Let the Moon Wobble: buff.ly/MC2RfIF

this is apparently what I look like during poetry readings 😭 what is my problem!

I’m suffering from Evil Disease and the only treatments are to be a raging bitch and joke about killing myself

sometimes it’s like if the trader joe’s cashier tries to make small talk with me then I will kill myself in front of them

buying a bunch of books and never reading them is so gauche

I’m so sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad and angry and sad a

socially ostracize them until they kill themselves?

this year I’m rebranding as asexual. I’m not actually asexual but I want everyone to think I am.

people think moby dick is a stern adventure novel heavy on the plot. i can't emphasize how much it's not. it's supergay chaos with 3 plot points. there's an entire chapter that's just a chowder recipe. sometimes it turns into a play. the main character is covered in whale dinension tattoos.

poets and poet-adjacent people: which presses do you love that publish hybrid/experimental/genre-fluid books?

the best letter/email sign off is “Yours, [Name].” it always makes me blush. you mean you’re MINE? 🤩🤩🤩

after six months I’ve finally finished reading Moby Dick and I feel invincible…like I could kill a whale…

I have decided to be more unhinged on this website in 2026 because no one really pays attention to me here anyway
