“Politics and aesthetics have an uneasy alliance. Too often, trans art—whatever it might encompass, and whatever form it might take—is on the losing end. Creating good work requires time, space, funding, and the motivation to keep showing up.”
For @newyorker.com I wrote about the censorship of trans art. I spoke to many of my favorite artists from Puppies Puppies to Creighton Baxter, thought about strategic opacity, Amy Sherald, and whether or not we have had great trans artists.

I occasionally do proofreading and editing for non-English organisations. Absolutely spending way more time trying to decipher AI translated nonsense that completely erases original language nuances and meaning (and assume these jobs will dry up now bc I'm costing people more). Hire translators!
