  1. Mk and I are going to be doing another joint reading!

    This time it will be in my Discord server, the opensorceryy club.

    It’s on March 31 at 8PM and I hope I see y’all there 💛 mk will be reading selections from its recently published chapbook, Different With Him, and I will be reading some very queer pieces from my most recent zine, Fear Not The Brave Pain, and beyond.

    I’m stoked.

  3. Nothing had ever hit me quite like Andrea’s voice did that night.
    Their poems packed so much fiery, tender truth. The way they wrote about love, pain, queerness, and survival was equal parts gentle and fierce. Political without losing intimacy, intimate without losing bite.

  8. "Instead of Depression by Andrea Gibson

    try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don't even dream. It's okay if you can't imagine spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave."

    — Andrea Gibson: You Better Be Lightning, p. 32

  13. The title — Love Is A Dangerous Word — underscores how radical it is to love within and across marginalized communities. The Trump administration is willing to do everything in its power to break this solidarity because it knows that love is, indeed, dangerous to its an authoritarian regime.
