hi everyone!!
i’m still alive, as you can see. it’s occurred to me that i haven’t published a post since December 2022 – that’s because i’ve been busy with uni, and then i graduated uni, and now i’m busy finding work. i haven’t really found the time to write and to publish outside of all of this. i have a lot of drafts waiting to be dusted off, though, so rest assured there are still things in the works and i haven’t left this blog to die…
thanks so much to everyone who’s read, liked, and commented on my previous pieces – i think i’ve outgrown that style a little bit, but i’m glad it’s reached so many people and left an impact! 💙💙 i would love to do this for a living, honestly, but that’s not quite possible just yet, so for now, i only have the little things to live by (and how fully they make up a life, surprisingly enough!).
and thank you, loyal subscribers and readers, for your patience, because i have so much to say and so little ways to say it, and i squander those little ways however i can because i’m a (say it with me) burnt out shell of myself. i’m still trying to figure out how to write most of the time, especially since i’m considering doing an MFA in this thing, so it’s Sisyphean and slow-going and thankless for the most part. but i have you guys, so maybe it’s not all bad.
hope you’ve all been getting by in these best of times and worst of times… and if not, that’s okay, because we’re here to build a politics of failure and refusal, as a step towards resistance and hope… essays for another day, if job-hunting doesn’t kill me first.
'til next time,
