“Pray Away” is salient because it not only centers queer subjectivity but demonstrates that these problems are, above all, deeply human. (via @sistopolis @kstolak )

The cultural contrasts between NY and LA are an obvious case in point in proving the inverse relationship between a city’s intellectual cache and the amiability of its residents, but name an exception that doesn’t prove the rule!

Imagine thinking “taking responsibility” for your actions is actually just writing a memoir in which you quite literally capitalize on the trauma you caused an individual. You can object to cancel culture and still find this vile.

Amazing. I publish a memoir in 2010, at the age of 29, in which I recount having made the terrible decision to slap my HS girlfriend when I was 15. The book IS ABOUT my taking responsibility for my own actions. In 2020, someone periodically reports it to institutions I work with.
