The People We Can’t Stop Thinking About
Sarah on limerence, obsession, queer desire, and getting your brain back.
There’s a particular kind of person who can take up residence in your brain without paying rent.

The Queer Shortlist: TBA 2026
Each year the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA) presents a world renowned festival here in Portland - this year the Time Based Art Festival is back with another lineup of artists who seem less interested in staying in their lane than setting the lane on fire.
