i interviewed @ambersparks.bsky.social for ow but wow (my limited series on feelings) and loved her rec for Lorna Simpson. that sent me on a rabbit hole — which led me to her screenprint "Detroit (Ode to G.)"

Katherine Plumhoff @kplumhoff.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

NOTHING LIKE A ZINE. i made my first one last month and i'm obsessed with her. it's about hydrangeas of course. MORE IMPORTANTLY. I LOVE THIS STORY. tangerines, car hookups, lonely rainy days. what more could i ask for? congrats my friend!!!

wrote a (long) short story, Sanctuary, about an accidental nanny, and queer desire, and how being paid to take care of someone else's kids can feel like the only way to access a certain kind of family — and it's out in print in Issue 31 of Quarter After Eight this month!

i love Amy's stories and this prompted me to buy a copy of SAD GROWNUPS for my sister, because nothing is better than book mail except maybe talking with the best friend you happen to share blood w about how hard and weird and wonderful it is to become a grownup. sister book club incoming!

Katherine Plumhoff @kplumhoff.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

this is a terribly hard question but two writers whose work and/or lives never fail to make me want to write my own weird stuff include: i wanna know what @lindzmcleod.bsky.social and @marioaliberto3.bsky.social's answers are!
