A smiling woman poses in front of a framed painting. The caption below reads: “Here’s Megan with Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s A Sea Spell, 1875–77, at Harvard Art Museums!” The background is brown with a subtle texture. On a green background with a bookmark illustration, the heading reads “What writers are currently inspiring you?” Below, the quote says: “This semester I've been taking a Virginia Woolf class, and I am obsessed with her brain. Her works feel like an invitation to let my own writing be more wild and strange, and her commentary on the complex nature of gender dynamics and the ways in which we might be attracted to upholding them feel as timely as ever.” On a brown background, a white marble bust of a woman with the top of her head open is paired with a disembodied white hand reaching down toward it. Text reads: “I also recently loved Elena Ferrante’s novel The Lying Life of Adults and aspire to write as viscerally and poignantly about the uncomfortable aspects of being human as she does.” Final graphic on a marbled green and purple background reads: “Read ‘The Space Says Yes to Me,’ an interview with Gretchen Scherer, our featured artist for Flight 24.1, developed by Megan McDermott and Gwen Hall. Thanks, Megan!” The Blackbird logo appears at the bottom with the text “an online journal of literature and the arts.

I guess we are doomed to just constantly rehash the gendered dating advice of previous generations

Everyone should feel empowered to pursue intimacy on the timeline that is right for them, but the consistency with which I keep seeing content that suggests women are "giving up their power" by having sex makes me feel like my brain is melting
