a new essay out in Terrain.org —will also appear in Michelle Tea's upcoming anthology on Witches. When someone talks about witches I think of the Aswang and I think about how much access to rage I have in this chapter of my life... terrain.org/2024/nonfictio…
I have an essay in @Terrainorg wherein I refer to the guy as "former President." He'd signed legislation that cut off funding for residential facilities for children leaving no alternative. Hence children were housed in office buildings and hotel rooms.terrain.org/2024/nonfictio…
Dorothy! These words changed my life. But also I sent her a story of mine once, randomly, to her home, as a baby lesbian writer, and she actually put notes on it and sent it back to me. Then I got to meet her in person at Tin House.
One thing I know is that I’m staying sober today. You can too, if that’s good for you.
Zoe Leonard’s, I Want A President. Leonard wrote this in 1992, the yea poet Eileen Myles ran for president. Leonard says she would write this differently today but is interested in imagining what we want in our leaders, and even beyond that, what we can envision for the future.

Hey all, I find myself in yet another hallway, a good friend once reminded me that much of a writer's life is in a hallway, awaiting acceptance or rejection, what are things you like to do whilst stuck in the hallway?
are you in the west? are you a writer? I'd love to read your personal/critical accounts of sites of cultural production—art, food, books, poems, rodeos, hugging parties, readings, trivia, send pitches to Melissa dot chadburn at hcn dot org .50/word 1200-1800 words
Wow so thrilled to be included in @AllOfItWNYC summer reading challenge wnyc.org/story/all-it-s…
