Fat, Asian, and Bipolar: Michelle Yang’s Memoir Challenges Stigma - Mochi Magazine

Abt Phoenix Girl: Michelle is a friend from college, & we've kept loosely in touch. We connected at the Tucson Festival of Books in March. Her book is such a gorgeous act of healing & vulnerability, outside what I often read, but i'm so glad it exists in the world. www.mochimag.com/arts-culture...

Her memoir “Phoenix Girl” shatters cultural taboos about bipolar disorder, fatness, and love — here’s how Michelle Yang is rewriting the script.

The first pages of Gloss’ 197 novel describe the failure of a rich guy’s vanity space project; “It was the sects of the counterculture—Carsonites & bird-watchers & Rodale farmers, Quakers & Mennonites—who understood the microbial needs of a closed system” to make generational space travel possible

I hear you, and also it feels less like a dying gasp then it did 20 years ago, when we didn't have screenshots & a proud self-avowed r*pist in the oval office. So I'm not really convinced it's on its way out yet/anymore

This is a rare opportunity to hear two people with extensive knowledge of oil and gas issues in Alaska discuss the history and current status of how we got here. It’s an election year. Bring your questions. It’s free to attend.

Oh no, it seems I have been added to a starter pack 🫠 Some housekeeping: I am not a Democrat! Tr*mp is a symptom, america is the disease! It is ok to hold progressives accountable! Misogyny & white supremacy are bipartisan values and this is a problem that should be addressed! Hope that helps.

Tried to choose the bear but the NPS closed the park road to biking due to bear activity so I was stuck in cell range with all this news about MEN. Goddam federal overreach.

Nothing has made me feel as old and tired as the visceral gulf between the perceived momentum of #metoo and the collective exhaustion of right now

Google earth has updated its satellite images of Gaza. The destruction is almost incomprehensible.

Honestly I think those are more useful skills than campaigning for the years ahead and he should cotongue to hone them & most of us could be better than we are at mushrooms

wishing i'd thought in time to say to the UMV employee who made a tired-ass & potentially triggering weight loss joke abt filling out the driver's license renewal form "how DARE you say that during fat bear week?!" instead of just quiet grumble ignoring it

wait, they're surprised by the language in the ad that has been out several days? or in the NYT article?

First snow wiggles of the season! Had to climb into a windstorm to find it (tbh I thought we’d meet the snow lower and the wind later but he made the most of this little patch)

My book, Ghosts of Distant Trees, includes a short essay about getting an abortion in a Fbx clinic, & eating goldfish crackers in the recovery room, over 10 yrs ago. Yesterday I went to the same clinic for the 1st time since for routine care* & felt cozy seeing them in the waiting room snacks

A small bag of cheddar goldfish crackers held up in an empty waiting room, pink signs out of focus on the window

* I’ve been elsewhere since, don’t worry, but god the medical landscape is bleak and PP is possible to schedule with in a reasonable amount of time and answers the phone, & I’ve had nothing but stellar care there since high school so I keep circling back to them & probably always will

You can buy my book here! It is mostly not about abortion but is a very pro-abortion book: porphyry.press/ghosts-of-di...
