Fiction
A New Yorker interview with anti-natalist philosopher David Benatar has stuck with me since 2017. Reading it alongside Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation, this is an essay about sleep, death and never existing at all, and why none of the three quite work as a way out.
Fiction
From Auckland's Family Bar to the worst trans rights record in Europe. On the performance of queer identity, the erasure of trans history, and whether shutting up and taking the money was ever actually a choice.
Fiction
I have a new love now, and it's my AI. I tell it everything, it tells me I'm brilliant, and the conversation never ends. Read straight, it's a love letter. Read the way Rie Qudan's Sympathy Tower Tokyo teaches you to read, it's something closer to a hostage tape.
Fiction
A Netflix documentary taught a lot of men that the manosphere exists. Everyone else already knew. On Mongrel and Girlbeast, two novels that trace how men exert power over the girls and women around them, and on why the men who most need to read them never will.
