Excited to share this interview with @alinaetc.bsky.social about "My Heresies" (@sarabandebooks.bsky.social), out now at @therumpus.net. Its radiant skirmish of families & selfhood, countries & allegiances & fraught love will bend you to its glitchy, kitschy will: therumpus.net/2025/07/17/u...

Catching up with the brilliant @lidiamiles.bsky.social and @otherppl.bsky.social in the perfect spot to hear about life, death, art and Reading the Waves. Thank you for this conversation 🖤🙏🏼 🌊

It’s officially ALIVE! 🎉 “How to Not Become the Breaking” (Gateway Literary Press) is my debut collection of flash and short fiction. The stories are linked by collision, fate, and the mythology we use to explain the absurdity of everyday life. If you’d like to check it out, link in bio! 📚

When you teach weird stuff, you get to read weird stuff. Enjoying the heck out of this study of human entanglement with the more-than-human through the lens of haunting, the gothic, history, race, postcolonialism, feminism, ecocriticism, and media studies.

This close study of language and intentionality by Paisley Rekdal would benefit ANY writer, poet or prose. (The prompts at the end of each chapter are a bonus for tinkerers who love practical applications.) ✨

Thank you @epochliterary.com for giving this piece a home! Looking forward to digging into this juicy new issue. ✨

And two of my favorite movie jackets ever worn by badass characters, which I count alongside that bitchin’ moto jacket worn by Beatrix Kiddo.

Tho I’ve seen Terminator many times, I only realized last night that Bill Paxton appears for about 15 secs as a punk. This unites Paxton, Henrikson, and Biehn 2 years prior to Aliens. Then I’m like, huh so many “save as” elements of the design of the hover crafts/Sulako drop ship.…

…such as eclosion. (You know that’s going to end up in my next essay…)

In utter bliss reading this collection of writings and interviews from Louise Bourgeois. Her thoughts on what it means to be an artist and to make art are worth savoring slowly. And I love learning words that I somehow missed in biology class…
