"“About gender, then, it is not only important to dislodge from grammar and linguistics a sociological category that does not speak its name. It is also very important to consider how gender works in language, how gender works upon language, before considering how it works from there upon its users.”" Jul 03, 2026 12:58PM

“On Earth lately, I’ve been looking at everyone
like I love them, & maybe I do. Or maybe I only love
one person, & I’m beaming from it. Or actually
I just love myself, & I want people to know.”
Chen Chen

Julia Armfield
“When I was younger, I think some glib or cavalier part of me always believed that there was no such thing as heartache - that it was simply a case of things getting in past the ribcage and finding there was no way out. I know now, of course, that this was a stupid thing to think, in so far as most things we believe will turn out to be ridiculous in the end.”
Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

James Baldwin
“He was sobbing, it would have been said, as though his heart would break.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Jenny Tinghui Zhang
“There is no such thing as luck, I told him. Luck is just readiness that meets opportunity.”
Jenny Tinghui Zhang, Four Treasures of the Sky

Lisel Mueller
“this body
is home, my childhood
is buried here, my sleep
rises and sets inside,
desire
crested and wore itself thin
between these bones—
I live here.”
Lisel Mueller, The Private Life: Poems
