It was such a total dream to record @thisqueerbook.com and and I was truly blown away that Jordy Rosenberg joined and that we got to chat about their debut, one of my favorite books, Confessions of the Fox. We also dip into my upcoming novel, Beings, as well as research and queers in history.

Black Lawrence Press Independent publisher of contemporary poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

I learned about the closure of SPD from Black Lawrence Press, and promptly went and ordered a bunch of poetry from them. My favorite book of theirs so far is Dominant Genes by SJ Sindu, a hybrids poetry/essay collection. They publish fiction and non-fiction as well.

I keep getting interview requests to talk about AI and teaching, and I keep saying no, because it's just so fucking boring. How many times can a person say, "It's a bad idea, and a grift, and a technology built on the stolen work of the very people you imagine doing this AI-assisted teaching?" Blah.

This is what centrists sound like to me…

“You want to continue existing. These people want to kill you. I’m sure we can reach some sort of compromise.”
