"If you sacrifice, you’re virtuous—you’re noble; you’re thinking about the better good. But are you really? You could live your life sacrificing, but where does that get you?" @tiffyo.bsky.social interviews Jane Park about Inheritance (@pegasus-books.bsky.social). ➡️ buff.ly/HYiwHdw
The cited information but not the quote written in white at the bottom of Jane Park's author photo. Ro the right of the words is the book cover for Inheritance. The full Rumpus logo is on top.

That was it. She didn’t tell me anything about her life. Not a whisper.

I have a letter to my first/birth mother in @therumpus.net for Adoption Awareness Month! This is a dream pub in so many ways; I’m so grateful to be part of this series and I feel so encouraged to keep writing about the messy grief and strange joy of being adopted 🤍 therumpus.net/2024/11/21/t...

To My Third Father - The Rumpus
I didn’t understand consent, the formal severance of me and my biological father. Like magic, my past dissipated.

Hiiiii! I'm so proud to have an essay in @therumpus.bsky.social for adoptee awareness month. With lines from my first CNF writing class three years ago. I still can't believe it. My essay is about adoption, fathers, names, heritage — it's about choosing myself 🌱
