"Do not be surprised to encounter love in the tunnel. Love persists wherever people go. Tell yourself you are loved and worry about truth later."

"I was, in my own JNCO ways, very much like Kat and maybe you were, too."

It is a cardinal sin to abjure the sacrament of the eucharist on Easter.
It is a blue jay sin to scream at the top of your lungs and throw birdseed all over the ground.

Excited to bring my vigorous nodding to every #AWP23 event I attend today.

"I do want to hopefully lead some people to look at Predator a little differently and understand it—not just Predator but the act of looking—as the tool it is."
@angermonsoon & @EricJAldrich on PREDATOR— film, franchise, and now, memoir (@GraywolfPress): tinyurl.com/yckmhe49.
I really enjoyed interviewing @angermonsoon about Predator for @fullstopmag. The interview explores what the film says about our hypermasculine, gun-loving culture, as well as how our formative loves shape us as adults. The memoir dives alot deeper, of course.
