You know when poems sometimes give you chills and give vent to feelings you definitely could never have expressed with such skill or grace? YEAH. (Read itttttt)

Very grateful to have my weird flash piece about the stories that make us who we are—literally, figuratively, physiologically—included in this month's issue of Small Wonders! This piece is close to my heart (🫀), and it means so much to me that both SW and @apexmag.bsky.social have given it space.

I'm reading The Unraveling by Ben Rosenbaum. I can't believe I missed this when it came out in 2021; it's unlike anything I've ever read before and I'm kind of obsessed.

Not only do I believe in Dead Internet Theory, I believe that model collapse is already happening. Eg: weeks ago I used to get spam emails pitching promo services for my novels & books. Now they can't even get my name right. It's often addressed to a friend, a co-contributor, or some made up name.

I'm trying and failing to compose a coherent response to politicians who say they "oppose transgender ideology in schools," when the only trans "ideology" that matters to me is that trans people exist, trans rights are human rights, and that these assholes should leave trans kids the fuck alone.

I was one of these kids, and if you want to fuck up somebody's relationship with food for life, tell them "hey kiddo, sorry, I know you're nine, but no birthday cake for you, 'cause Mommy was bad and you have to pay." You think that doesn't leave scars?
