Writer & editor by trade. Artist by birth -- but talent only got me so far (not very). Elbow grease / sweaty persistence / pain & more pain / rejection (gettin cozy wit it) / practice makes more practice / Ultimately, loving & hating the work keeps me going.
My latest work has migrated over to Substack: https://reijagrrl.substack.com/. A newsletter for reluctant/presistent artists, like me / our pain as battle scar / rewards are few -- until we let go. NOWHERE FAST is accepting submissions -- the more imperfect, the better. We also encourage feedback via comments / we also encourage (and will consider publishing) critical responses to any/all published pieces on the site.
I am also an editor at WHRER'S THE HARM, a newsletter by and for people who use(d) drugs. Our aim is to analyze stories and popular-but-misleading/manipulative naratives about drugs, drug use & drug policy. We use a compassionate/rational approach to education around drugs. Our goal is to help liberate folks who use drugs from prejudice, persecution & criminalization. AND we are also accepting submissions.
See ya'll at one or both places.
