keeping it in a place of "becoming" is key at this age -- best way to keep the heat off and just learn about how you write. watching your work take shape has been awesome, truly appreciate your quirky prose (complimentary) and all the experimentation you do here. and thanks for the shout xo

i agree 100% — and besides, settling into one single mold sounds a whole lot like death to me.

and you too! excited to see what you're doing with flyover

I feel like so much has happened to us (and to our writing style) ever since our beginning here but I think your consistency ( as almost an inherent need to share stories and experiences and takes on things) is what made people stay; it’s what makes art transformative, it’s what makes you stand out. you have the power to make quite literally anything be something full of meaning, you repurpose it, you make it your own. You’re a true artist. Congrats!

never clicked in my head you started your substack like a month before mine, but I remember that of all the people on this thing they could have shown me when I opened up the feed for the first time you were the first. incredibly glad for that stroke of luck. incredibly glad for all the writing and kindness and putting up with every music recommendation that has found its way to your dms. next year in chicago or whatever they say during passover, cheers
