I added a new piece to my writing page, Adjusts Itself to Midnight. It is a long-format, mixed-genre piece about queer heartbreak, love, and growth in the aftermath of being ghosted. Maybe it's your jam, maybe not, but I am very proud of how the writing and the web design came together. It can be viewed on mobile but the full experience requires a larger screen.

It is not in the least bit intimidating that I, a person who makes fun of English literature, am being followed by somebody who has a PhD in English literature. No pressure whatsoever. Thank you regardless.

I assure you, any authority I have is quite slender. Getting a PhD in English actually means finding a weird little corner of literature and scrabbling around in it. It is actually a process that can be the exact opposite of enjoying literature! But I honestly don't think I would have survived my PhD program if I weren't making fun of it all the time. Making fun of literature is its own art form. :)

The Velveteen Rabbit is a great book, I listened to a version of it as an audiobook as a child. I still remember the rocking horse talking about what makes something real to the rabbit.
this shit (on top of generally being under the weather tonight) brushed strong against old wounds in my heart (/compliment) (tho my personal experiences moderately different but still felt on some of the struggles in this piece)
