"It’s confusing. I protect the breasts that I live without
in my mind’s eye. I look for hours
at men’s trousers and kimonos and bleed all day."
Love this wry but tender body-ambivalence poem by @rocketfantastic. Poems about this are few & far between.

This is your periodic reminder that no one is forcing you to be a writer. You do it because you have to. You do it because universes pour from your fingertips. You do it because it's the best gig ever. You do it because it's how you process pain, joy, fear, love, and hope. (1/3)
Love this story, @JenWangWrites !

I love this piece by @JohnWest: "You can’t write a memoir after you’ve died, so there is always a new story that could be told, a different, perhaps truer, way of understanding your past." lithub.com/time-and-material…

TOMORROW!
I can't describe how excited I am -- subs will open April 10-30 for our 1st PRIDE🌈 issue (publishing in June).
We want stories & poems that are uplifting, joyful & celebratory.
All things queer but *esp* interested in seeing work by/abt aro/ace & trans/enby creators
Ahhhhh! I signed with @alireader at Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency!
My life-affirming memoir of friendship love, bi/pan love, polyamory, and activism as love is… beloved! By a brilliant agent! #writingcommunity #nonfiction #memoir

We are going to read the heck (!) out of “Wild Geese” today! And swoon over Mary Oliver! A queer jamboree. I’ve heard there’s a livestream if you want to hang out. This link may get you there? More a conversation than a lecture. Queerness is collaborative. smith.us11.list-manage.com/s…

today we’re excited to share new work by Varun U. Shetty!
“We tied knots around it
and took it—
the way humans take things
they think they own.”
