Volume 3, No. 30: A Brief History of Queer Desire

On selfhood and longing

Greetings, book and treat people! This week is my last week with the ocean and I’m soaking it up. I’m also feeling excited about August, because it means we’re a little bit closer to September, which means we’re a little bit closer to October…

A few lovely things, because we all deserve lovely things:

• The Sealey Challenge started on August 1. It’s my favorite! Yesterday I read this chapbook in the quiet early morning as the sky brightened. It was gorgeous (the book, the sky, the ocean, the morning).

• A book I read recently reminded me of this show, which I watched this spring. It’s so good! You should watch it if you can!

• This book is out in the U.S. this week and I love it with the fire of a thousand suns.

• This comic brings me joy.

I’ve been working on this essay for a while. I hope you enjoy it.
