One editor who rejected this piece said it was too "deeply personal to the point where readers will find it terrifying." But it found the perfect home! THANK YOU to @megpillow.bsky.social for the edits and @roxanegay.bsky.social for embracing the terror. audacity.substack.com/p/cutting-bo...

Can the literati please stop assuming the question about whether or not to have children is central to every reproductively able cis-woman’s intellectual and emotional life? I get enough of that from the US government.

My hot take is that this has been going on in “literary” fiction since at least 2010, and I am thoroughly and completely over it

Made my fiction debut in The Kenyon Review today with a story for anyone who hates their job and/or life. This makes me deliriously happy and professionally fulfilled. Big thanks to my friends, the best readers ever (aka @samuelernest.com, Celine, and Tobi). kenyonreview.org/piece/prolon...

Fitness voice of reason and the crown jewel of my inbox @caseyjohnston.bsky.social was my pick for this year‘s Yale Review round-up. Because more writers should lift, actually. yalereview.org/article/the-...
