This week I spiraled out with novelist, memoirist, Tarot reader & literary arts organizer Michelle Tea (Knocking Myself Up, Against Memoir.) We talked about how we'd rather be overwhelming than boring, explored the shame inherent to parenting, confessed moments in our friendship that once made us spiral, and so much more. Plus, Michelle shares a ridiculously hilarious and deeply humiliating story about a teenaged hookup gone wrong- that was so bad it literally gave ME intense secondhand embarrassment just listening to it!
Follow Michelle on Twitter @TeaMichelle, and on Instagram @michelleteaz! You should also BUY HER MOST RECENT BOOK!!!!! It's called "Knocking Myself Up: A Memoir of My (In) Fertility ," and it's an incredibly funny, vulnerable and real exploration of queer baby-making, pregnancy, and everything that goes with it. Which is- a lot. In a great way. READ IT, GET IT, DO NOT WAIT, etc!!!!
