bada bing bada bang the govt is shut down

going thru a moment right now, aren’t we all.

hello again world of this text app

hi :~) fun fact if you get a copy of the print edition of LARB, a sexy one like this one, you can read my short story The Party :~)

my short story “The Party” (which you can read in-print) is now available to read online in @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social 😌 lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...

went out and saw a play w my friend and then came home to my bf making me mac and cheese balls, beautiful balance

when I’m upset and the ghost that lives upstairs makes a loud noise on the drum to comfort me

The Oklahoma City Thunder

the older I get the more I’m at least willing to admit I sometimes just don’t fucking know lmao

OKC Thunder is the best team and it’s not even an argument, it’s their year

I have a short story that will be coming out soon in print in LARB’s next issue that I can only describe as “thriller smut” so that’s exciting and fun!

every morning my cat finds a way to be near me and hear every possible bird outside at the same time

was very sad to hear about the passing of alice notley, I was honored to briefly share a press (archway) with her. love this poem.

I’ve been an OKC Thunder fan so long that my freshman college intro powerpoint about myself had a whole slide dedicated to kevin durant

you’re always allowed to hire me to write something for you, no one is stopping you…(it’s not illegal…yet)

got this skirt when we went to Palm Springs during the fires and wore it for the first time today lol, been reflecting a lot on what a surreal experience that all was & I love you Los Angeles

hair cut today and about to go to an 80s themed party, Thunder won, p good day

sometimes it really hits me how short life is and how lucky I am to stand in the sunshine

posted a new album today. i think this one “rocks” more than other records i’ve made. im proud of the album cover too monochromecathedral.bandcamp.com/album/german...

bought a planner today bc even though I was diagnosed at 14 with adhd I’ve decided today to deal with it or whatever

living near the grocery store makes me feel like the most privileged person alive

I like writing in a way that enables the feeling of having a secret with myself

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

texting my bf a photo of me: picture of the love of ur life btw…

it’s a perfect day to play oblivion remastered and pretend it’s 2008 again

me, putting more sex in the first twenty pages of a feature script than I’ve seen maybe ever: this is fine, this is a movie for sluts

when you write fifteen pages in a day and ur like okay…do more…

a lot of people were forced to read the awakening too young to appreciate it. listening to erin discuss it in a contemporary context is really illuminating. makes me wish kate chopin had written more

talked to erin bowles on Required Reading pod about one of my fave narratives, The Awakening! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

the youngest pope

would be cool if we chose the pope when he’s a kid so we could all watch him grow up, maybe that’s just me

writing something that’s forcing me to reckon with the worst qualities within me and how much I’ve grown…writing rocks lol

you’re actually always in time to become the version of yourself you want to be

when my therapist is on vacation my whole sense of time is off, like what day is it? she’s not back? it’s just the void man

kind of wild to witness the global economy get completely destroyed via tariffs for no reason and as a result american standing abroad, in such a short time period! on top of all the various and active human rights abuses that is.

was going through someone else's meme collection and saw @erinisaway.bsky.social in the wild it felt like I knew a celebrity

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

plz share if you can’t donate, thank u 💞

I’m still $495 away from meeting the cost of childcare during this writer’s conference. Childcare isn’t easy or cheap to come by on the average day, but for a child w/ multiple disabilities, it’s often out of reach. Because Art is non-verbal I just don’t trust respite services yet. Can you help?

Gustave Courbet, Lovers in the Countryside, 1844

“The Trump administration has scrapped more than $800 million worth of research into the health of LGBTQ people, abandoning studies of cancers and viruses that tend to affect members of sexual minority groups and setting back efforts to defeat a resurgence of sexually transmitted infections.”

Our NEA grant was canceled. Here’s a letter from our development director about what’s happening.

If you are a visual artist whose NEA grant was terminated today, I want to talk to you for ARTnews. You can contact me on Signal at karenkho.45. I can grant anonymity if necessary.

are there any people of my very specific Slavic ethnic group on bluesky (Lemkos, are there lemkos and/or rusyns here?) (idk a less awkward way to word this)

torturing my bf (sending ass pics as I ignore and smoke a spliff across from him)

oh speaking of games, a new very cozy life sim that kind of reminds me of stardew valley but is also like an arcade meets the sims called “to pixelia” dropped yesterday and it rocks

tbh it’s much better to delay a game than face an embarrassing debut of a half finished game imo!

buy my bf’s music!!! I am lucky enough to get to hear all of this get made, it rocks!
