'Forever' and 'Heavy Traffic' are two standout lit magazines from New York City, each helmed by dear friends of mine. Their readings have admittedly triggered neuroses that at times makes me feel like I'm at a NASCAR event. They have really made me love writing, going to bookstores and to readings again. Truly heartwarming. However, I take issue with the recent Interview Magazine article that appeared to pit these two magazines against each other, based on their "editorial standards". The notion of comparing them simply based on their editorial standards is NOT sexist enough. I mean who can argue with the fact that these two publications have distinct aesthetic identities based on the fact that they are run by opposite sexes and should be judged on this fact alone!

This could be one of those rare things that – somehow – reminds you who you are, or who you used to be, those parts you thought were gone. (And trust me, there will be threads. So many threads.) I’ve learned, too, that there are whole stretches of life where you’ve been a stranger to yourself for so long that admitting it feels terrifying, insane even. But without that one thing to confess to, to get honest with – to untangle the mess of ordinary, maddening thoughts – you might never know what’s actually there, buried under the static.

It’s nice to log off TikTok, IG, and Twitter for a few days or a week and use much more low key socials to get a new perspective. I’ve mostly been into Letterbox and Duolingo. PYI also fits this vibe. Sipping some iced green tea on a farm in the Midwest not giving a shit about people’s online today. ❤️🔥
