“I wanted heaven
But space spat me out.
I heard earth girls are easy.
I’m so easy I only learned how to fight
Back last week. I didn’t win.
But I cured my depression
By making the bed!”

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Today ICE arrested New Yorkers in a shameful raid on Canal Street.

I joined my colleagues outside of Federal Plaza to call for Mayor Adams to STAND UP for New York immigrants and REMOVE ICE from NYC.

"Yet in taking their own experiences of trauma seriously, by directing their writing and reading towards understanding and articulating it, Hood and Sinno expand the horizons of what trauma literature can be. Their books mark the arrival of two major literary talents."
Friday essay: trauma memoirs can help us understand the unthinkable. They can also be art
Sad Tiger and Trauma Plot are two stunning memoirs by rape survivors who immerse themselves in art and literature. They both transcend ‘art as therapy’.

For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists.
