+ a complete family / hstry, a lyric essay in @honeyliterary.bsky.social about choosing to get a hysterectomy at age 20, being an agender / trans person and writer, and refusing to (re)produce a familial lineage.

www.honeyliterary.com/issue4/hybri...
There is something poetic in scarring the site of the umbilical cord.8 In doing so, I deny the very people whose (re)productive efforts rendered me possible, upended the dynasty whose heterosexual whiteness brought them from poverty to vermouth and price-less menus. This, and the refrain: all we want is for you, someday, to do better than us. This is why we have you. When you’re a parent, you will want the same for your children. Now my children die in the biohazard bin. My children are medical waste. My children, like all children, are not children but misplaced possibilities. I think often about the difference between “last" and “final,” the way that “last" can be Novocain for existential dread. For every Last Supper, there is a last week; for every last gasp, last-minute redemption. “Last" was recent blood, was when was your last period and is there any chance you might be pregnant? I was only the most recent of a coming-many, an Atlas to my family tree, the most recent of my bodies. "Last Girl Cavar” was bestowed upon me with pride and anxiety. In this instance, the girl is merely the promise of a woman who will make more, more, more. The girl is not an affinity but an obligation. I am not a girl but I am the final. I tell the story of a family history that will soon end. Without intending to do so, I have ended history: severing it and slowly, painfully, excreting what remains.

I love @honeyliterary.bsky.social , it's been an amazing home for my work and community to be with. They took in my writing about madness and neuroses and sex and food, and I think if you have something that fits their bill, you should send it!

It’s hard to think about love lately, but it's also the only thing worth thinking about. @honeyliterary.bsky.social, which centers marginalized writers & artists, is open for subs til 12/16. As Valentines Editor, I'd love to see any form of artistic expression touching on all types of love. ♥️

Pls pls read this thread on the thought and intention behind the next class in our workshop series by Mordecai Martin. We are so excited to learn more about the benefits of translation. Pull up! 📚❣️🍯
mordecaimartin.net Mordecai Martin @mordecaimartin.net · Sep 21
Okay I’m teaching this workshop for @honeyliterary.bsky.social ! Go sign up at www.honeyliterary.com/workshops! What follows is a thread of where this workshop is coming from and how it’s gonna go (maybe! We’ll see! Keeping it loose)
An author photo of me Mordecai Martin, a bearded white Jewish man with poofy curly dark brown hair, wide eyes and a prominent nose, smiling over folded hands in a pink shirt. The photo is over text that says “Amateur Just Means You Love It: Demystifying translation as a practice for all writers” with Mordecai Martin.
