Last year, ✨🌸 Dr. Destiny O. Birdsong 🌸✨ published a short story, ā€œThe Jump,ā€ only to have it pulled from publication less than a day later over disagreements with the editors. She talks with Deesha Philyaw and dawniewalton about it: ursastory.com/destiny-o-bird…

Destiny talks about navigating censorship and what happens when writers and editors don’t see eye to eye, and about the intersections of religion and queerness, the representation of queer sex and sex work in literature, and how she follows instinct when approaching her work.
