A couple years ago at a WritingxWriters workshop I had the honor of reading a draft of what is now Erin Steele’s memoir “Sunrise Over Half-built Houses.” As can happen from these writerly spaces, we’ve kept in touch, and part of that was the opportunity to interview her. #queerwriters #electriclit

Dean Spade—lawyer, writer, professor and activist—is offering free online workshops on Mutual Aid. Heather, Anna and I attended the one this past week. This is helping me unlearn and then learn a whole way of thinking—and doing—activism, and it is so important for these times.

Apparently, "A Wounded Deer Leaps Highest" was on this gay book list last year. Had no idea. Anyways, if you need some very queer reading, apparently Good Housekeeping has your back!
