Loved @avramargariti's "Pulmonary" from the moment I read it! The lung houses, my god...
IT'S LIVE! My @The_Rumpus story "Pulmonary" is 1300-words long, and contains lung houses, delusional girlfriends, and paper foldings 🫁 I would be honored if you gave it a read! therumpus.net/2023/12/18/pul…

I HAVE THOUGHTS. I HAVE STRONG FEELINGS. This film was painful, grueling, unrelenting and unnecessarily graphic. A thread. 🧵

That monolog from the movie BARBIE is overrated.

Working with Reena to make the vision of this story come true was a dream!!!
New fiction @The_Rumpus! I love this wonderfully uncanny story by @MittalWrites from the moment I read it.

University reimbursement culture means you're regularly lending money to your employer, yet they never pay you back with interest. It's frustrating that this is the norm in academia. What's the situation where you work or study?

“…but when I am told that I shouldn’t do something, I become indignant and I have to do it. So, I started thinking about the concept of a fictional biography.” I was lucky to chat with @_catherinelacey about Biography of X for @voguemagazine! vogue.com/article/catherine-…

"The Ungrateful Dead" felt like a very important story to include in The Rainbow Issue. It is a difficult read, but there is an urgency to this story that is matched only by the beauty of Clayton's prose. I'm so grateful we snagged it for the issue.

Hey, there’s a lot of romanticization of the misery of writing and I just want to say that you should enjoy writing!!!! There’s nothing noble or honorable about hating the process of creating art. Despair certainly has its appeal but this can (and should) be fun!!!

This is a story close to my heart. I have seen @WriterClaytonB work so hard in order to make the character of Grayce come alive on the page. Couldn't be prouder of my spouse. @fairytalereview
