I want to cry a bit at this which is unfair because it is your piece and your writing and eliciting other people's tears is quite anterior to the project of it all. But equally this was moving and it would be terrible not to mention this to you. Thank you so much, this was so brilliant. I send so much love your way. God bless you and I hope things feel so much more tender for you soon.
Great story… and so clearly written. Exactitude is wonderful quality to have.
Golly Rose, now there’s an American Pope, you’ll have to plan to see the Wild West… from the Canyons of New York City to the deep, mysterious forests of the Pacific Northwest. It’s all so vast and wild still… maybe you’d like it.
And yes, everyone agrees you are not to kill yourself. The happiest I’ve ever seen you was when you were teaching a summer school once, years ago. Lithium seems to be a wonderful help for many people… my son has been on lithium for years. So maybe that would be helpful too.
Please don't kill yourself. I like your writing and would be extremely upset if you did.
Beautiful writing as always! I hope things get better <3 you are so beautiful, smart and unique. Sending love your way!
I literally got substack just for you, and every time I get a notification that you posted it just makes my day <3
aw that’s so lovely!! thank you 🥺

Thanks for the short story you shared…
I'm so very glad you're alive. Please take care of yourself.
Please take care. I know some days it’s an empty cliché, but you’ll thank yourself, one day, for holding onto the hope that things will get better 🫶
I have been waiting my whole life for a woman to hand me a sword
I hope you take strength from how good your writing is ♥️
You write so sharply. I’m haunted & disturbed by the conclusion, and I hope that’s simply the effect you wanted to produce, as a writer.
Viscerally poignant. And very well written ofc.
