NOT Alexa Chung. Feel free to notice the resemblance though. I write too.

I wrote about sex parties for @VICE, thus making my life the ultimate cliché. (Female writer ✔️ living in brooklyn ✔️ writing about sex ✔️ for Vice ✔️)

Read it and weep!

@ivadixit oh the foreshadowing...

To all of the handwringers about their Hawai'i vacations: if you cannot get a refund, tell the hotels to donate your rooms to locals in need. I guarantee you the hotel staff will either have immediate family or friends of family who could use shelter right now.

[Kaniela Ing @KanielaIng]

Don’t come to Maui. Cancel your planned vacations. Survivors need the hotel rooms. Give our community time to grieve and heal.

I have tho(ugh)t(s)... thanks to @keziahweir https://t.co/yhG9d9iOUr

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

Of course, endless gratitude to the editorial team @sewaneereview for their care and surgically precise line edits. And @lisadtaddeo who selected the essay and gave me some much needed confidence and momentum at that point in my writing life.

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

My essay "In the Mood for Love" was the nonfiction runner-up for @sewaneereview 2022 contest and it's finally published today.

@shankcruz Rite of passage!

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

@shankcruz Congrats! Now how will you spend this newfound free time?

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

@yessfun I traveled there in college and lots of women travel solo! I found the north to south (or S2N) bus routes to be great bc you’d end up traveling with a group you knew for a few spots and stayed in the same places. That said, it was in my 20s and mostly full of expat partiers.

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

@alexanderchee Editing term but TK!

[Alexis Cheung @alexislscheung]

@ivadixit Is that camp? I’ll never know

@alexanderchee It’s poetry but DMZ Colony blew me away

"This was the 1970s, not a good time for women or gays in psychotherapy. Whether the therapists knew it or not, they were keepers of a culture that people like me were now rebelling against"

I saved this interview on writing with @minjinlee11 (by @alexislscheung in @believermag) in my notes app because it was so good. So many interesting thoughts about creating came up in their conversation. https://t.co/vxiAWEOTAS
