sooo much of this book is about desperately trying to have crossgender cybersex (often going to lengths to avoid anyone knowing that it's crossgender)

Ashitaka's story emphasizes the importance of having two girlfriends, one who is nice but evil and one who is mean but good, and you have to spend all of your time doing stuff for them
Our guy walks into a totally unfamiliar environment with the craziest possible shit happening all around him and still somehow manages to make the correct moral choice like 85 times in a row.

fuck all the anti-trans journos handwringing publicly now that Trump is enforcing the exact things they wanted. if they're so concerned they should **** **********
Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

this media landscape where every pitch needs a news peg to be considered for publication has been hell for me as a writer of pointless little essays about whatever happens to cross my mind

I want to see a movie about a group of trans femmes who get drunk and go bowling. In my mind, all of them are awful at bowling except one girl who is scary good. The movie would be about nothing except the experience of living out one evening. Like a Rick Linklater movie from 1992. Title: DOLL PINS

My story collection I'M NOT HUNGRY BUT I COULD EAT centers messy queer Puerto Rican men, their desires and pursuits of emotional satiation. But most of all it's a love letter to my twenties, all those long lonely nights and the brief sparks of connection found and lost.
