In some ways Shesheshen's problems are not very relatable. I'll wager that few of us have personally battled the urge to lay parasitic eggs inside of our partners, or have been forced to dodge homicidal in-laws. But underneath her grotesque exterior, Shesheshen is any of us asking to be accepted in our fucked-up entirety. This tender ace romance between polar opposites is equal parts humorous and healing. I
The day after the election, November 6, having spent the previous evening cooking and consuming a well meal of grass-fed beef and roasted green beans and quinoa as a form of self-care, I sat at the kitchen table eating every single piece of our leftover Halloween treats. KitKats whose wrappers were red as the electoral map. Bags of popcorn labeled, preposterously, Lesser Evil. Coconut-chocolate bars called Unreal.
Around lunchtime, immersive into this who-cares sugar binge, I opened my email and saw a new Substack post from Patrick Nathan, an excellent writer and an especially astute critic of all the ways—both explicitly and implicitly—our country has embraced authoritarianism. America, he writes in his newsletter, not as a country but as a mythology and set of unifying ideals, is dead.

Here are a few of my favorite funny finds lately from queer authors. Delighted Pride Reading!
Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby
A hilarious collection of essays on everything from QVC shopping, universal bathroom etiquette, Sex and the City fantasy rewrites, to my personal favorite, the challenges of sharing a refrigerator after marriage. She can and does make anaphylactic shock amusing. Irresistible and relatable, Samantha Irby’s voice is one of a kind.
