Like I have with all of Michelle Tea's books, I ATE THIS UP IN ONE SITTING. A sweet, funny, real book about queer family making. Recommend!

@ourcityburning @ZacharyLipez Here to say Bret Easton Ellis ripped off Didion to such a pitiful degree he insisted she not read Less Than Zero.

Just rabidly devoured the excellent Eat Your Mind: The Radical Life and Work of Kathy Acker in 3 sittings and am thinking about all she endowed to girls, queer folx, writers at the fringe -- the permission to be scary and ungovernable. https://t.co/Irt4I23rlQ

Folks who are practicing resting, trying to learn to do less, do nothing, lie fallow, decoupling from grind culture -- what are some good texts / reading on the topic? Aside from Jenny Odell's book, Patricia Hampl's Art of the Wasted Day -- what are the crucial books?

Coming down the pike from American Music Series and the brilliant Francesca Royster : Black Country Music. An essential read. And look at this tour! It's a cavalcade of genius in convo. https://t.co/MvFH0hCBTw

If you love a REAL memoir and are looking for something that is like... the chaser after you read Body Keeps The Score -- something that speaks to the pain and grace of reconciling your CPTSD in feminist, intersectional way -- here's the book: https://twitter.com/satori_dude/status/1548426577867710464

In Claire Dederer's phenomenal new book MONSTERS she writes about how folks answer emotional/systemic issues/probs with EZ capitalist answers -- "don't watch it, don't buy their music" -- that said music world is so atomized and so freelance, organization seems out of reach https://t.co/W5dzjAeIBL

@MoiraDonegan makes me think of what bell hooks wrote in the intro to Men Masculinity and Love about women secretly holding their breath, waiting for men to die so they themselves can live.
