I’ve met a lot of mediocre writers who refuse to believe they’re not the New Nabokov or whatever, and most of them are pricks.

“Serving Fish” so much of my youth was misspent in places like Jewel’s Catch One and The Study. Spaces for Black and brown queers who were excluded from West Hollywood. This is in tribute.

Why do people understand “Death of the Author” so poorly? Barthes’ essay is pretty short and very clearly written.

“The Beekeeper’s Garden” was inspired by how ominous I always found the woman who knew magic in the Snow Queen
Fun fact: my great-grandmother had almost every flower mentioned in her garden, which seemed impossibly huge when I was a kid
