Your writing continues to hit in the best way, every day reading your words whether its a post or on substack is a reminder and inspiration to continue the good fight of living alongside my values, staying committed to my wild artist self, stand up for my queerness/nonmonogamy/my right to feel pleasure and create. I'm honestly so happy you exist.
"The idea of dividing work from life based on what I’m paid for is so bizarre to me... My work has always been to think and feel and try to understand as deeply as possible, to face the things I am forbidden to even acknowledge, to tell the truth, to get at the thing beneath, to change myself, to change the reader, to change the world."
Your commitment to your craft and your integrity is a gift to the world, and I hope you never stop.
Oh man, I feel this so hard. Once again thank you and you have a place to stay and a free translator if you need them here in central France. Bon courage
I love your work for the very ways that it is not always perfectly curated, that it assumes the intelligence of its readers to engage in pattern recognition and trace themes throughout shorter pieces in the development of a broader framework, in the ways it has always been openly committed to transgression. I’ve followed you since I was a teenager and can thank your work alongside other guerrilla artists for opening and shifting my mind in many ways that have not always been possible through polished, more normative formats of writing. My own sacred secret creative practice is given a place to be taken seriously by the fact I get to witness you speak openly about rejecting the pressure to brand, market, and transform your work to satisfy audience expectation - when as you state so beautifully, the work itself is what is built to be transformative. This is something I have not heard articulated in this way by many creators, but deeply resonates. The deepest writing is not content. It is evocative fragments fit together into the shadow of something still being imagined, by both the writer and the reader, across the page. It is not a finished product. It is spiritual work. Thank you 🙏
Feeling this. Yesyesyes to all this. 🙏🏼💚

I resonate so hard with this:

I hope you keep following that wild god, Clementine! No matter where it slithers or how slowly. One day I’d really like to read that book

We can defy the system by sharing amongst ourselves
We definitely have your back.
