Housekeeping:
I have too many books. Please buy some. I will send you a bunch, curated just for you, & will probably include a free zine or fun stickers, too.
I have two new zines:
Creepypedia and Gaybombs & Melonheads: Funny & Bizarre Wikipedia Entries.
I have a poem out in Guernica.
My meme-making continues

What I’m reading:
The Queerness of Memory, Ana Hoffner
Quotations:
Trauma has become the easily proclaimed and simply understood designation of an unbearable state of being.
-Ana Hoffner
[The word “trauma”] is increasingly referred to when historical events appear otherwise ungraspable or even unrepresentable, when narration and remembering as tools of social configuration seem to be insufficient.
-Ana Hoffner
It is not the past that interrupts the present, but the way this past is perceived, which makes linear distinctions between past and present impossible.
-Ana Hoffner
