Queer theory is one of my favorite things to talk about. It’s helped me come to both amazing conclusions in texts I’ve read, as well as how it impacts my everyday life.

if you’ve never took the plunge, now is the time.

Last time was fiction, so this time I figured I would do nonfiction!

Was recently reminded of an amazing novella from an awesome list posted by @bookish-afrolatina.bsky.social: The Ballad of Black Tom by @victorlavalle.bsky.social

An absolute banger and thrill ride that has me on the edge the entire time, in fact, I think it’s time for another read!

Banu Subramaniam’s Botany of Empire has helped me ground and restructure how I view systems of collection and commodification. Read it when Banu visited CSU last fall. Absolute banger.

Hey #authors, what music are you listening to while you’re writing?

I’ve been jamming out to the Ruined King soundtrack for years now lol

Also, do #writers exist that do not listen to music? How does that work?

I don’t paint often, but when I do it’s always a special time. A great way to unwind.
