Ralf Webb: I’d like to ask you about sex in literature. You’ve talked before about the importance of logistics in sex writing—taking the trouble to be clear about the arrangement of bodies, how this helps the reader to experience the body as more than just an abstract. How did you arrive at this understanding? 

Garth Greenwell: I do think logistics are sexy. I think that when you have a complicated action, or an action that is freighted with more than logistical meanings, then you can arrive at those greater meanings by actually doubling down on logistics. The whole game in writing, it seems to me, is to somehow find a way to arrange a finite number of data on the page in such a way that that finite number of data bears the weight, or gives the impression, of the infinite number of data that actually make up reality. Within the minuscule space that is even a long novel, how can one give a sense of the density of reality? I have a fundamentally phenomenological approach to that. Some of the most exciting passages of literature, for me, involve that logistical density. For example, when Zola describes how you lower a horse into a mine; or when Iris Murdoch describes dredging a medieval bell out of a lake; I really feel like I could replicate those actions. When sex writing isn’t successful, I find there’s often an attempt to leap across the logistics and arrive at a space of metaphysical amplitude....I often say about writing sex that I want it both ways; I want to say the sex is this privileged activity that gives us access to all sorts of meanings, and that it is an especially dense form of communication. But also I want to say that writing sex is just like writing anything else, and being exact, and trying to actually put concrete sense data—physical information on the page—and that’s a huge part of the battle.

A sign to never use markers on thin paper again

I decided to post this thing I made a while ago since I was bored, and to show you all the colors of my ocs (Pyramid, Pentagon, Sphere, Melody, and Harmony), I may or may not add color to my next drawing since I now have thick paper

Hello Tumblr. Especially my little corner of Tumblr. I do unfortunately come with bad news. On this and every other platform I actively use I have been singing the praises of one H. Byron Ballard, thanks to a friend doing a very big deep dive a certain...aspect of her character has come to light which is in my opinion:

Unacceptable.

She holds TERF views and as an Appalachian, and a queer one at that? I cannot and will not support anyone like that. My copies of her work are being tossed, and all of my support of her on this blog will be edited with clarification that I no longer support said work.

And per usual for proof I do have screenshots from her Facebook, of which no apology or acknowledgement has been made that I can find. I imagine since this is roughly when she began working with a major publisher she might have been advised to dropping the topic online? There is apparently some mentions of this in her 'irl' interactions as well but I am digging for internet proof of such. If anyone finds anything further please let me know.

Proof from her own Facebook is below. And if asked I will provide direct links to ensure that they are not doctored in any way.

Appalachia is a welcoming place, TERF beliefs are not welcoming and therefore not Appalachian by extent.

My heart was already hurting for my home, now it also rages.
