- Few women have left such an indelible mark on me. Tawny Kitaen is at least 15% of my sexuality. May she continue her reign as a video vixen goddess in the afterworld, all car splits and postcoital mane. #RIPTawnyKitaen
- I rarely do this but I got an acceptance from @forge_litmag today. And I’m super stoked because they’re just so awesome! Please forgive me for this lack of humility.
- Who hates Raymond Carver? Also working class bars are patronized by women too. Also writers can be working class and women and born in Miami. And finally, I do prefer writing that’s less whiny/absurdist by men. So if that’s what he’s trying to say, I think I agree.
- Glad I came of age in a time where I could shoplift and read Sade without anyone weighing in or giving a shit.
- Fuck this. And fuck a lot of the subtle misogyny experienced this weekend at AWP. For those that weren't there, lots of brilliant women writers read, too. And it wasn't about what they were wearing although they were hot and vibrant forces. About to namecheck all of them.“ If I’d planned better I would have worn my Hogwarts robes and brought my wand because apparently I was at a gathering of the coven”
- Hey! I'm doing a @rejectionlit submission pop-up thing VERY SOON (re: a bit later this week). I like the real, the ridiculous, the raunchy. Pull out your old shit or create something new. Theme/guidelines forthcoming so stay tuned and SUBMIT!
- I wrote a book! I think you’ll like it. Pre-orders are up now! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Super stoked to announce that SCUMBAG SUMMER, the debut by @JillianLuft (out 6/20), is now available as a SIGNED PRE-ORDER! Promises to be the most anticipated book of the summer! Premium merchandise bundles are also available! Catch her at @treefortfest! houseofvlad.bigcartel.com
- PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me”
- There she is!
- I’m not alt lit, I’m not indie lit. I’m some ineffable third thing untouched by the masses.
- I think working class lit by men, or any other gender, cannot ape its predecessors. The world is different. Some markers are the same, sure, but the voice and perspective cannot be detached from the culture at large. Just write what is true. Fuck the rest.
