A new essay of mine just dropped, "Top Drop," in which I descend into reveries about pleasure and dominance in the midst of a leather archive at NYPL. Thank you Barrie Jean Borich and Brittany Kass for the editorial care. tiny.cc/TopDrop @slagglasscity.bsky.social @barriejeanborich.bsky.social

"Devotion is the word she and I keep circling back to as we study the punishing copy. Asking for it can feel vulnerable. Giving it can feel equally disarming." Today in Slag Glass City– "Top Drop" by Jenny Johnson tiny.cc/TopDrop @infullvelvet.bsky.social #archives #creativenonfiction #litmag

Fantastic list of books not to be missed.

I can't wait to read with Diana Tokaji!

Today’s poem-a-day by @infullvelvet.bsky.social had me cheering and weeping throughout. “Cleverness I know can feel exclusive but here I lean into my friends’ literacies, their wisdoms my shelter.” poets.org/poem/queer-t...

We're thrilled to reveal our next two Pushcart nominations this morning: @alvinlu.bsky.social for "Style" and @infullvelvet.bsky.social for "Daddy Scene." Because can you really have a Daddy Scene without Style? Subscribe to Cherry Tree: washington-college.square.site/literary-hou...

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Damn 😶

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.
