dear body,
stop betraying me. please.

dear certain people who should know better,
please pay attention to how you talk about me. geez. thanks.

dear weekly dig,
i know i wasn't the only person to write a letter about that bitch&animal article from last week. i'm worried that you picked my letter to print because it was the most conciliatory & palatable. i feel weird about it.

dear dennis kucinich,
i like what you've been saying. don't fuck up, okay?

xo me.

Thanks for the Kucinich link. I could live with this. That's assuming I survive the current administration.

i know they didn't print my letter 'cause it was so long. since i write for the dig i'm hoping to make my letter into a larger piece on transphobia and how i (and others) fight it in my (our) community.

p.s. i just read your letter. i don't think it's conciliatory at all. i think it's very succinct & well-written.

thanks amy. unrelatedly, i've been meaning to ask you about the prison book project. didn't you do some volunteer work for them at one point? what is their policy on book donations? 'cause i have a coupla boxes of books to get rid of before i move...

i do volunteer at pbp. they take any and all books. what's most needed ('cause it gets asked for most often): sat and ged books, books about mexican-america and african-american history & culture, dictionaries, and true-crime-esque fiction. but really, everything everything is good.

weeklydig.com under the letters section, probably for a limited time. xo.
