Talked theology, my pietist roots, @homodoxy.com, and the inadequacy of words like "sex" with the wonderful @andrewhahn.bsky.social for The Load. Thank you for having me, friend <333

Genuinely asking why the LGBTQs are reading John Boyne. Do we not care he’s a TERF or what? We’ll slam JK Rowling, stop listening to anti-trans musicians and artists, but John Boyne makes it on ample TBRs for pride month?

Hey all. If you’re a queer writer, I would love your thoughts on writing workshop culture for my new Substack – The Load. The survey is anonymous and so short! 🙏🏼

it makes me sad when people seem to have a huge vocabulary for critiquing writing but very few ways to describe what moves them, what they find effective or exciting or memorable, what they love—and why

6 years without my mom. I still have her voicemails, a playlist of her favorite songs, I make the gravy recipe. My bones crack in the morning like hers. I have her smile. The most distance I have, the more similarities sprout from my life. Not a day goes by I don’t miss her. What a way to live 💕

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Don’t know if any of you academics on here know that Instructure (Canvas LMS) made a global partnership with OpenAI. You can create assessment in which students can engage with LLM. Faculty at large already struggle with AI in the online classroom. Call your CETL office for help! 😬
