The other night at an event, my cunning friend kept enticing people to read my essay on love and N. Ireland by telling them it was about sex. . . @MinorLits minorliteratures.com/2026/04/21/w...

Thank you @crawjill.bsky.social for this beautifully jarring version of all the things: “Who among us will relinquish false certainty & exclusive righteousness to allow each other to exist unencumbered and even to thrive? Is justice possible? I hope so, fear not. It would have to be for everyone…”

I wrote about my experience of love—where intimacy has grown to feel unexpectedly political—and about parts of the N. Ireland I know. The binaries are more unstable than so often depicted. We're still in flux. I'd say the most personal and challenging piece I've written:

In fiction, three stories about process and abjection (2/3 of which are also about online dating). In @crawjill.bsky.social’s typically sharp “Mill Rock,” a former actress from Ireland finds herself in a complicated polycrisis with an all-American couple. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/fic...
