Stop telling yourself you have to abuse yourself in order for your art to be valid
Today, I saw a post on tumblr dealing with mental health in the arts. I had seen the post before, but as I walked from my friend’s apartment to the bus, I began thinking about what I would post tonight. The tumblr post came back into my mind. The post, which can be found here, […]
Fun Home, or: the Genealogy of Queer Stories
Autobiography has, in fact, come to a close. We just have to turn in some assignments such as reader responses to finish off the course. In this vein, I had my first complete experience with Fun Home on Sunday. I had, of course, been watching the Tony’s when “Ring of Keys” was performed. And I was, of course, captivated […]

What Do I Want to Say?

This summer, I remained on Boston University’s campus with a 9-5+ job, working days in […]
