    at least two award-nominated books this year are about v poor protagonists but are written by authors who were never poor. appropriating poverty for accolades is disgusting & i don’t know why we don’t talk about this more.

    just found out my tΓ­a, the only relative i talk to, died. my entire family is estranged. she was a lot like my mom but w/ a bit more sweetness. i feel like i’ve lost a light & the only link to my family. i already miss her. pls love on your loved ones while they’re still here.

    PROBLEMATIC LIT MAG ROLL CALL. given recent events, i think it might be helpful to remind writers where not to submit. pls shout them out in the comments.
