Such a fierce and beautiful feather! Thank you for this. I donโ€™t know where the eve we met falls on the timeline but I really look forward to more community in LA, the kind that you seek and want to build. Here for it! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝโœจ

That was so beautiful. As someone who has been at their own bottom with depression, I can empathize so much with feeling you are rediscovering yourself as you claw your way back from the depths. Rebuilding surrounded by a loving and accountable community has been instrumental in giving me a sense of personal and collective worth.

Thank you for sharing, wishing you well ๐Ÿ’›

My favorite memory of AWP in Seattle was your hug and our brief chat. Being seen by other queer writers is such a potent gift and I hope to pay it forward.
