Mass walkout at the UN General Assembly during war criminal Netanyahu’s speech.

i should start submitting my weird little fuck poems but i haven't published poetry in years and have no idea who would even be interested

Sleep demons, a bump of K, dead-end drudgery, and a touch of edge play—it’s all in a day’s work in “Female Small Business Owner” by Grace Byron, excerpted from her forthcoming novel “Herculine.”

For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

naturally a package that i ordered online only because it's too heavy to go out and get on my own arrived while i was freezing to death in the bleecker street planned parenthood so now i have to wrangle it a mile from my apartment anyway

i like her work as much as any girl but does the LRB even publish any poets besides jorie graham now

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

“As the French writer Neige Sinno recently reminded me, ‘to say storytelling is not action, too, is a strategy’ deployed by those in power, by those who rape us, to keep us silent.” Searing, as always, from @veryhotmomm.bsky.social: www.thedriftmag.com/anti-anti-ra...

Reading Jean Rhys again after reading TRAUMA PLOT by @veryhotmomm.bsky.social Jaime’s writing owes something to Rhys but it’s so much more advanced in what it can do. Progress in literature after modernism.

old habits die hard when i’m in LA….hauling around my board and a bunch of wetsuits, omw to go read @veryhotmomm.bsky.social’s book and knit at walt’s with an afternoon radler

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?

on earth we're briefly GONGEOUS 💜

🎧 “What do we demand of survivors—and what do they owe a world that’s failed them?” Listen to a clip from @veryhotmomm.bsky.social’s TRAUMA PLOT, a searing, genre-defying memoir that reclaims the narrative around survival. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736792...

Use this amazing review as a reminder to preorder Simplicity by @mattielubchansky.com!!!!! www.publishersweekly.com/9780593701126

we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.

Oh God please let this be the end of it. Fifteen months of genocide. Fifteen months begging supposedly moral people to do the moral thing. Fifteen months watching people who know better lie or be silent when they knew what was going on.

the gynecologist told me what a pretty vagina i have right before she scraped the ever living fuck out of it ... like being given a lollipop right before getting a shot

I wrote about, among other things, Neil Gaiman and Alice Munro and what happens when the work turns out to be way more biographical than we'd ever suspected. open.substack.com/pub/mariskre...

asked the girls which twin peaks characters we all are and charlotte immediately said "ok clearly you're audrey" ... like i wasn't fishing for the compliment but i'll sure as shit bite

the thing about dilation is i have to spend two hours a fucking day doing it ... i've gone pro in having the most gorgeous and open vaginal canal while no one and i mean NO ONE is talking about it

in the group chat the other day i said something like "i don't know what's going on and i have no idea who this is for" and we decided to make that our Energy for 2025

I wrote about new books from @jeannethornton.bsky.social @torreypeters.bsky.social @harronwawker.bsky.social @veryhotmomm.bsky.social @xbennyboo.bsky.social @thedennemichele.bsky.social @cuteflesh.bsky.social @vivianblaxell.bsky.social and more!

hate that my friends keep asking if i "liked" babygirl ... nicole kidman is the one actress i'll watch any movie for and i have a lifelong taste for dominant men ... what the fuck other response could i have had but pleasure
