Sometimes I'm afraid to reread my older published writing, but you know what? This holds the fuck up. Happy Bisexuality Day from me in 2017. www.autostraddle.com/young-adult-...

How YA Novels Unexpectedly Enabled My Own Bisexual Revelation

I wonder why the story of a bisexual teenage boy is the one that allowed me to explicitly consider my identity as a bisexual adult woman for the first time.

Things about mainstream publishing I wish more people knew: 1) The NY Times Bestseller List is a marketing list, not an accurate list of the best-selling books for that period. 🧵

This is a belated post about how cool it was to attend @mollyolguin.bsky.social’s book launch in Seattle a few weeks back! She’s got a few dates in the Midwest, East Coast, and LA in the summer months, and a virtual launch coming up next week! Don’t miss out!

our culture is corrosive to queer history - itll efface it and rewrite it at every turn. we gotta know what happened and tell each other about it those silly little guys in their dorky costumes were a revolution and the world tried to make them a joke, then stole them from us as soon as they could

Since this is certainly getting edited out, I can reveal that @mollyolguin.bsky.social and I just wrote an entire novel where her character correctly refers to a character named Maurice, while my character refers to the same guy as Morris, and no one ever notices and nothing ever comes of it.

The amount of young people who became writers because of Michelle Trachtenberg and Harriet the Spy is way higher than you'd think

Rewatched 1917 tonight and I will never know how anyone will ever be able to take in any (re)presentation of this era as anything other than antiwar, but also people will always see what they want to see, and that's what built The Pasithea Powder.

Today I taught two of my favorite poems from Gary Jackson's book "Missing You Metropolis," and got to have a fantastic conversation about marginalization and monstrosity in metaphor. What makes a mutant (or a person) a monster? What does it mean to forget who you are?

Xorn

Sometimes the idea of the monster is more real than the monster itself. - Professor Charles Xavier from New X-Men (vol. 2) #127

My brain is a star. When I walk downtown, people don't run
but walk fast. They know I'm a mutant, but the gravity

draws them near. Things got better once I laid my hands
on a woman. A car knocked her body in the air

like a heated molecule, and didn't bother to stop.
The crowd called an ambulance, but when they saw me—

my face bright as a halo, they believed
I was the second coming. I touched her.

They thought I brought her back, but I told them
I'm no Jesus. I simply take the good cells and fix them,

discard the dead ones like flicking ash into the air.
Now people won't leave me alone. I jump-start cars,

bring dead dogs to life, a girl brought me her dry goldfish.
How could I refuse?

It's wintry in Seattle today, and I just saw a gull flying through the snowy trees. Gulls do belong in Seattle, but they don't belong in the snow, so it was weird to see, but also aesthetically seeing the white bird in the white trees under a white sky was satisfying. Discordant but beautiful.

Last week I checked my spam filter for the first time in, like, seven years? And in the spam folder, two pages back, was an ACTUALLY IMPORTANT EMAIL. This haunts me to my core. What else have I missed????
