Hi loves,

thanks for all the amazing comments recently! so proud to be in community with you all. still making my way through responding bc trying to savor rather than rush thru your comments but feeling all the feels rn!

quick update — i will be sharing hand-written notes + Notes App vibes with paid subscribers. here’s an essay I wrote earlier this year on the colonial beauty paradigm. at the time I was like, is this good enough to share? Well, wtf…

on my podcast I recently asked: is it perfectionism or self-repression? both — but while we increasingly know perfectionism is a tool of white supremacy and patriarchy, “self-repression” makes it a lot more obvious!

as discussed please email me if you want a subscription but can’t afford it! love you all <3
