It took getting a cold and staying home from work to get around to this--that's how I got the cold--I was too busy even for this, and bam! there it was (the cold from overdoing), just like the "good old days".
Thank you for bravely shaping silence around a thought and sharing it. xox
I just LOVE this... I can't even tell you. It reminds me of a Murakami visual poetry experiment that's specifically making new use of Substack as a form. Huzzah!
This format, these pages, is what I wish books looked like. Or maybe they kind of do look like that. Either way, I love them and their content. But what I wanted to say was that I put myself out there in the world in video and it's hard. I almost always have a reaction to it afterward that is a little like crumpling. It feels crappy and I want to hide and protect myself. And when I'm feeling really bad about it, sad, regretful, ashamed, whatever, I think of you. You who puts yourself out here over and over again in the most amazing, raw, beautiful ways. My "exposures" have been cured and packaged, but yours are (or maybe just feel) much closer to the living heart. I commend you for your bravery, Tina.
I love this! It feels like it set my cells aright. I can't believe the story about the 1200 year old flame! How wondrous! I'm so glad I was never put in charge of keeping that alive. Also, side note, the picture of the plain white rectangle is the one I unconsciously chose to expand. I think that must mean something. Thank you for this beautiful offering!
Oh, that makes me very happy, your cells feeling freshened. Thank you, Jenna. (And I am also extremely relieved that I never had to take a shift.) And I like that you took a closer look at the white rectangle!
oof right out the gate with that house made of sh. I'm loving the new typset format, it's so evocative and shapes the text so much more than just litteraly
Love love love. Your metamorphosis is beautiful. It’s all I ever wanted.
Aw, Jess, thank you!
I am sighing with pleasure.
That delights me!
Tina, many YOUR flame burn for at least 1200 years <3
Oh, Alicia. Yours, too. XO 🔥
Thank you for this mental breath.
🧡
Wonderful! But I can feel the "awayuki" beginning to melt in the hot gaze of our admiration.
O no
Ok, we’ll turn away.
(and thank you)
Love, love, love this
Thank you, Eleanor!
XO
It's funny and exacting and right on the money.
I am! Thank you! xox

Hope you’re feeling better, dear Burney XO
L O V E. I’m impressed! And relaxed. Usually, I’m neither. Well done.
Love to hear this, Ursula. Thank you!

Ah, that makes me so happy, Alisa. Thank you!
Yes. Just, so much yes
So happy you feel that way, Chloe, thank you 🎈

Becky. This means so much. And I get it, viscerally--the hot, hidey, post-exposure crumple. It’s wild, really. It’s a thing.
Keep going and please yourself like crazy. We only have x amount of time so fuck it.

I’m so glad you’re digging it. Thank you!
This is as thrilling and awakening as diving into fresh, cold snow. I love it!
Lizzie, you don’t know what a perfect compliment that is--or, apparently, you do! I couldn’t like it any better and I thank you so much.
That seems right. Well done.
Thanks, Comdar, I like that it seems right to you
Wait what?
