I wrote about sex parties for @VICE, thus making my life the ultimate cliché. (Female writer ✔️ living in brooklyn ✔️ writing about sex ✔️ for Vice ✔️)
Read it and weep!

"I want people to know that the book is not redemption. It will not save you. It will not fix your life. It will not solve problems." —@minjinlee11, interviewed by @alexislscheung thebeliever.net/an-interview…

A Look at the Legacy of Nake'u Awai, the Godfather of Hawaiian Fashion harpersbazaar.com/culture/fe… via @alexislscheung for @harpersbazaarus
To all of the handwringers about their Hawai'i vacations: if you cannot get a refund, tell the hotels to donate your rooms to locals in need. I guarantee you the hotel staff will either have immediate family or friends of family who could use shelter right now.

My essay "In the Mood for Love" was the nonfiction runner-up for @sewaneereview 2022 contest and it's finally published today.

It took me 2 years to write during my MFA at Hunter College. I'm grateful to @mychalsmith @sayrafiezadeh @jaydra_johnson @beckuhprice Torey, Sarah and my year two cohort for their patience and edits.
Of course, endless gratitude to the editorial team @sewaneereview for their care and surgically precise line edits. And @lisadtaddeo who selected the essay and gave me some much needed confidence and momentum at that point in my writing life.

"This was the 1970s, not a good time for women or gays in psychotherapy. Whether the therapists knew it or not, they were keepers of a culture that people like me were now rebelling against"

I saved this interview on writing with @minjinlee11 (by @alexislscheung in @believermag) in my notes app because it was so good. So many interesting thoughts about creating came up in their conversation. culture.org/an-interview-wit…

"It had two glistening plastic arms protruding from either side, like a crucifix."
Known as the "get it and forget it" birth control, the IUD is still subject to bodies with their own agendas. @alexislscheung breaks the illusion of bodily control.

"[N]o matter the intention, bodies rebel. They’re bloody and brilliant, with agendas of their own."
@alexislscheung challenges the overstated "control" in birth control when her IUD expelled itself. ow.ly/gt6M50Kn50Z
My IUD expelled itself two years ago, and I wrote about how bodily control of any kind — medical, legal — is an illusion for @GuernicaMag.
