Eros and Email by Em Reeds (Hotel Paintings)

"Twitter and similar social media don't quite feel the same way, they're too public and combative; everyone's expected to confidently present their best self which is usually totally at odds with the desiring self. Real-time chat demands, and becomes ephemeral, you can't read, and re-read, and adore and pull your hair out over paragraphs and plot out the time you should wait to reply in days."

A New Chapter by Evelyn (Written By Ev)

"I wanted the perfect Catholic life more than anything. To get married young, have lots of babies, homeschool them, raise them up in the faith. I wanted the long skirts and veils. I wanted to bake loaves of sourdough in a beige kitchen and name my children after the Saints. I wanted goats and a big garden. Finding a Catholic husband was the first step, and a religious university was just the place to go. Instead, on that tiny campus in the hills of Appalachia, I found myself coming to terms with the fact that I was queer. Try as I might, it was no longer something I could hide from."
