It was such a total dream to record @thisqueerbook.com and and I was truly blown away that Jordy Rosenberg joined and that we got to chat about their debut, one of my favorite books, Confessions of the Fox. We also dip into my upcoming novel, Beings, as well as research and queers in history.
@thisqueerbook.com has a new episode out featuring @ilanaslightly.bsky.social in conversation with Jordy Rosenberg and I about Jordy's novel Confessions of the Fox! One of the big questions we talk about: Where do we find queer people in history?

I learned about the closure of SPD from Black Lawrence Press, and promptly went and ordered a bunch of poetry from them. My favorite book of theirs so far is Dominant Genes by SJ Sindu, a hybrids poetry/essay collection. They publish fiction and non-fiction as well.

Using this site, I found that some of my favorite #authors books are being used to train AI using the Books3 dataset.

I keep getting interview requests to talk about AI and teaching, and I keep saying no, because it's just so fucking boring. How many times can a person say, "It's a bad idea, and a grift, and a technology built on the stolen work of the very people you imagine doing this AI-assisted teaching?" Blah.
