Gina

Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

for the survivors in my life

For the survivors in my life:

We are not just what our perpetrators or abusers or rapists did to us. We are still ourselves, even if we have survived horrible things, things that were in no way our fault or responsibility, things that should never happen to any human being.

Still. We are not what was done to us. We aren’t permanently stuck in the state of “things happening to us.”

I’m a writer, so this is the best way I know how to put it: We have agency and power and beauty and strength and resilience. But most importantly?

We get to write our lives in active voice.
