There are plenty worse things you can be in fascist times than the cold unyielding tr*nny in the group chat, is my mantra today

while writing Exhibit, I also kept a process journal, writing notes to myself & maybe to the novel about the attendant thoughts, feelings, terrors, joys, anxieties & now it’s out!, thank you to @bombmag.bsky.social for publishing this 🖤

wrote a two-part essay about feminization + digitization, cyberfeminism, the TESCREAL bundle, and Serial Experiments Lain and The Ginny Suite 💌

003: Girlbots I

Part one of two on The Ginny Suite, the TESCREAL bundle, “Serial Experiments Lain” and other cyberfeminist considerations.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

ARCs of my debut novel 🏐 HOT GIRLS WITH BALLS 🏐 🥹😮‍💨 media ppl, booksellers, etc. DM me if you wanna make our star-crossed lady jocks Six and Green famous and we’ll send! everyone else, preorder / request, etc. and be patient 💅 my deeply super serious 🤭 satire is out 7/1/25 from @catapult.co #DYHTB

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Looking forward to lots of these listed, as well as Hot Girls with Balls by @xbennyboo.bsky.social - out July 2025 from @catapult.co

i get why it's useful but I feel like p*rtiful has got to go :/

i started looking at applications for the @tinhouse.bsky.social winter workshops today & i'm already so delighted + excited by the stories i've been reading :,) you still have a day to apply!!

some news: I wrote a novel, EXHIBIT, & it will publish in May ‘24! I started working on it in ‘15 & its obsessions include art, sex, ambition, curses, Korean mythologies, & generations-old revenge, also the book is very queer

People are so proud of their relationship to time. I think that’s charming. And very funny. Like, oh good for you, Father Time kisses you on the forehead and tucks you in every night? That’s so cool, man.

My head is still spinning over this one! "The Exorsister," my story about a plague of demonic possessions and messy queer sisterhood, is the feature for the August issue of “One Story!” You know you want to buy a copy of this greenpea-soup-colored beauty!
