Though I didn’t realize it at the time, I was also growing as a writer, thinking more about how to tell a story, how to get readers to care about the story. I edited Best American Short Stories 2018. I only make men call me Dr. Gay. That’s self-explanatory.

I am a writer, editor, cultural critic and I even have a podcast, Hear to Slay, that I co-host with the one and only Tressie McMillan Cottom. I am very attached to things that fade into obsolescence. But I was also an avid blog reader. I edited Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Cultureand The Selected Works of Audre Lorde.

For years, I wrote an obscure little blog few people read and that was mostly fine because I could share my thoughts with myself and three or four other people. If other independent bookstores do this, you can also find those links here. Through the Portable Feminist Reader, readers explore the state of American feminism, its successes and failures, and what feminism looks like in practice, as a complex, contradictory, personal and political, and ever-growing legacy of feminist thought.

And I’m going to host a book club, where we read books by underrepresented American writers, talk about those books, and, when we’re lucky, talk to the writers of those books.

People curate what they put from their lives into the public sphere but a good writer makes what they curate one hell of a story. All content will be free for the first month and most of the essays I share here will be in front of the paywall for the duration. This one time, I was on the L Word: Generation Q. I am working on some film & television projects and I have a couple other secret projects in the works that you will hear about here as they unfold.

The Audacity. What mattered is how they made me want to understand the world from their perspective. Sometimes, I am an academic. Paid subscribers will, when the authors are willing and able to join us, have the opportunity to join me in a live Zoom conversation with that writer.
