not every day that your childhood dream comes true! Good morning — I have a poem in the New Yorker 😩😭😭. Endless gratitude to @Deardarkness and @ghazalblues for selecting it. My mom is impressed, which never happens, so there’s lots to celebrate.

“Why I Loved Him”

“I can’t tell you / Why I loved him or / What it meant.”

Okay first of all, there’s auto fiction, and then there’s “I stalked my ex’s ex and wrote a short story based on what I could gather from her life on social media”

I’ve Always Suspected “Cat Person” Was Based on My Life. Now I Know It Was.

Since I first read Kristen Roupenian’s viral story, I’ve wondered: How did she know about me?

My sister couldn’t go back to school this semester after 3 years of busting her ass because we simply couldn’t afford the cost of tuition & she got no forbearance because there is no forbearance policy for a global pandemic. I’m glad to see this and I wish it were true everywhere

I’ve been writing this for almost a decade (in my head, in poems) but never felt brave enough to say it out loud. With this year of reckoning and y’all’s unwavering commitment to truth telling, I felt like I also needed to tell a truth. Now I feel free.

I’ve been in politics for a decade and spent the first half of that decade as an organizer. Your favorite early write ups about race and gender from teen vogue? I wrote those. POC 4 Solvency? I built that. I May be new to YOU — but I’m not new to *this*.

NEVER FORGET Kalief Browder. A young black man who sat on Rikers Island for 3 YEARS without trial for a backpack he DIDN’T steal. He committed suicide after spending two yrs in solitary confinement. 730 days alone.

Leaning into the idea that Nikki Haley’s contrition is real or authentic is actually very bad. We all swore we wouldn’t let republican enablers remake themselves after Trump was ousted, and yet the reconciliation campaign is trending on Twitter

I picked my fighter. Her name is Elizabeth Warren. We lost. I cried. I’m voting for Joe Biden, because it’s a survival vote. My people always have to pick survival to make it to a tomorrow where we can move from radical vision and not fear. Do not fuck w/ my tomorrow!!!

A six week ceasefire is an embarrassing proposal and I don’t trust them to actually make it happen. But this rhetorical shift from VP Harris shows that the loudest voices in the room right now are ours. Keep your foot on their necks.
