Listening to @nicolecallihan.bsky.social & @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social read their collaborative work is so cool. So inspiring! (I know I'm biased but this @notebookscltv.bsky.social event is so dope.)

@taylorbyas.bsky.social you have written something deep-wrenching and stunning. RESTING BITCH FACE is thematically tight, brutally honest, and intentional in its tenderness, its carving out and knowing. I keep marking it up, pen in hand, with wows & damns at powerful lines.
