it feels good to be writing about pleasure again. for a while there I felt weird calling myself a sex & culture critic when my work was hyper focused on sexual and domestic violence — which is still part of sex & culture — but it's nice to write something about pleasure AND recovery

publishing a book has melted my brain. I no longer know what I do online other than refresh my sales numbers portal, check my goodreads star average, and scroll through instagram hoping someone has posted about it

I started and finished the book since the 4th (in between my time in New York and then I got caught up reading it and just finished it now) and really enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend checking out But How Are You, Really?

Alice Munro is a prime example of women enabling abusers and expecting to be centered because it’s “hard for them” It’s white feminism as a shield from accountability with the least powerful sacrificed

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Neil Gaiman is someone whose work has meant a lot to me but I also think it'd be wildly narcissistic to treat allegations as more or less credible according to how much the accused's work meant to me.

I don't read reviews much because it's none of my business what people think but "in the kindest light, But How Are You, Really could be regaled as half-decent, and at its worst, in no better terms, unremarkable and pitiful" needs to be put on the back cover of the book asap

someone on goodreads wrote the most scathing review of my college reunion novel so far, so I looked at her profile and she is literally not old enough to attend a five year college reunion

Tortoise Media seems suspicious and I’m not going to listen to the podcast, but Gaiman’s statement alone is enough for me to believe the women who have spoken out. How we treat them will determine if others feel comfortable coming forward.

Neil Gaiman claims he had a consensual sexual relationship with his child’s 21-year-old nanny that started on her FIRST DAY. That’s enough for me.

I heard rumors about Neil Gaiman having weird relationships with younger women for years. Being a darling progressive author is a great shield for ugly power differentials in your sexual relationships. Tale as old as time.

I got to meet @brosandprose.bsky.social last night at Powells when she did an event with local author Jen Comfort.
They both have the most amazing energy, and had a great connection with each other too. I'll be keeping an eye out for local events with Jen, and Ella is an absolute delight.

to be corporate and cringe for a second, people connect to my writing because of its unglamorous vulnerability. there's no pretty inspirational message, it's just "sometimes life sucks ass and here's what I've learned to stay alive." it would be weird if I started posting gauzy cottagecore videos!
