I’m struggling to define the genre of my next book. For a while I settled on “spiritual erotica” but it sounds tacky, as if I’m a trad wife who’s studying deepthroating. So for now I’m going with “new erotica”, part Lynchian, part Homerian, part Sapphic. Check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/140133...

Been volunteering in a local shelter to walk the dogs these weeks.
Definitely not ready to have a new one in my life, but at least I'm helping a little.
Meet:
Moroto: He likes to bite ankles
Dana: She chill
Pirata: He digs
Runa: She's got bad legs :(
If you can, volunteer. They'll appreciate it.

How an attempt to standardize Switzerland’s least known national language ignited quarrels that engulfed classrooms, newspapers, and eventually local politics. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/CLu6vK
