I have a short story in this about sissy hypno, porn, and actualization

I started writing

New flash fiction out in Ambrosia Zine. Pick up a copy around Seattle.

Journalists in general lack scientific literacy and are easily distracted by jangling keys narratives. I once took part in a conference laying out the facts of a water rights dispute between states. The reporting ignored the presented evidence in favor of talking points by political appointees.

seriously tho having Nora Broker poetry (among others!!) physically in my hands in the fucking best nora solidarity forever 💕 @elanorjb.bsky.social

A second band has hit the TRANSplants Issue 3 release party (June 6th at Pratt)

"Performance Review was one of my favorite reads of 2024, and it is still unbelievable to me that you can read it right now for free. You should do so." Very humbled and grateful to be not just read but appreciated to this extent.

Every Democratic senator voted to confirm Rubio in order to get reasonable Republicans to not vote for RFK Jr. Masterful gambit as usual from democratic strategists.
