This was such a fun convo where I delve into what is queer about my writing and how I was told once that most people will only read about lesbians if they're fisting — please tell me that's, indeed, how everyone chooses books

I wrote this list as an ode to the books, like mine, that can give you the friend group drama you may be sorely lacking

we love going to parties with Kamala Puligandla and she loves going to parties (IRL and in books) for many insightful reasons which you can read about on Electric Literature electricliterature.com/7-books-about-…

I'm so impressed with the way that @formerteengirl brought all of herself to this interview and +10 to everything Tiffany Cabán is running for💗

.Kamala Puligandla talked to @sarahmariewrote about queer coming of age stories, verbally processing our feelings, and the idea of home. shondaland.com/inspire/books/…

my mom is the coolest and loves tofu, and thanks to gemini season we got some really good stuff from #otatofu and I made this:

wow, i am so honored to be on this list with all these hot writers and to have made anyone's 2020 even a smidge better

my favorite scene in Zigzags is up on The Offing today, and am feeling a little swagger about being at the top of a website I look at all the time!! theoffingmag.com/fiction/excerp…

the best tip for exiting any conversation:

I'm currently working on my last edition of The Dyke Kitchen for Autostraddle and could not be more happy to be folding this memory into it!

I loved every moment of working on these pieces! and i'm so proud to have worked w these writers and their beautiful ideas

I had the most amazing conversation w/ Kamala Puligandla in her #DykeKitchen, and I'm so honored to have helped round out this series by talking about taste in its many forms-- including how I gussy up ramen & recall w/ searing precision my first taste of KFC. Thanks for having me!

It was a total pleasure to close out my dyke kitchen series w Karen Tongson and get all the hot cooking tips, like hoarding tinned fish and freezing jollibee gravy to save for a future meal

starting my day off talking about queer food culture was excellent!
