In 1988, a self-identified cross-eyed queer femme author named Dorothy Allison published Trash, a collection of stories that went on to win two Lambda Literary Awards.
Leela, thank you! There are so many more stories about what Dorothy taught me, not only about writing, but also about how to nurture other writers. I'll be posting more as time goes on about her, for sure!
So happy to read you. And remember Dorothy. Got some new solid queer community these days and we had a beautiful memory fest on her dying day. No way are we forgetting Dorothy.
"“Tell me who you are, what you want, what you’ve never had, the story you’ve always been afraid to tell.” Ughhhhhhh. Thank you for this.
"double dog dared us" *chef's kiss*. Love the combination of the personal and literary reflections.
Thank you, Aren!
I love this: "Hard stories are worth the difficulty. " —So true. So true.
Exquisite, of course. And I would like to introduce Orlando Silver to your work but it seems I can't get the tag to work. I'll make sure that happens
Thank you for this. That class? It worked.

Thank you, Melly!
