BUT I COULDN’T DO IT ALL ALONE, WE

This affirmation is further evidence that self-censorship does not guarantee institutional disregard. My application never once shied away from making it clear that this space can and will center the hoes, fiercely. They ate it right up. You can and will spill onto that page with me, lest we all implode into ourselves and then explode that stinky lava onto others. You can do it. You will do it.

And I say it as a duty because that’s why I am doing this. The past ten years were bookended by the same thing: my love if journalism and my love of media. I can’t escape in a way that genuinely feels creepy sometimes, like who a I doing this for?

I guess that’s why i believe in a God, and I know it’s as nebulous as it is present, and it’s present in me and in you. (early Ramadan Mubarak u cuties) (or Passover, or Lent, or, or, or. Spring is such a treasured time.)

This sponsorship means I’ll be able to spend less time on things I am not so good at yet (bookkeeping and promotion) and more time on the things I excel at (teaching, writing, research, curriculum development).

Saturn in Aries is breathing so much life into me already, Maybe you feel it too? I have built a studio in my home again because doing without one was proving to make me crazy, like, a den is not for working and I’m not paying $4 to sit down for two hours and the Freelancer’s Hub is full of strangers. I need to be able to work (Saturn) alone (Aries). I wish it were different, I wish I could be softer for more of you, but no. There are few people I am soft for. I’ll introduce you to one.

My lover is one of trouble in the best way, and makes me sing, and bathes me, and accepts and admires and, and, and EYE don’t want to share too much of this sweetness because what did I just say?

Recently I have become a Capricorn Sun (progressed chart), and I love Earth, I am realizing. I am no longer alien, I am here, I remind my ancestors, we did it we got here and we keep getting and getting here. And will. I also am in fact Big Boss Baby!

So that’s about it, for now. How are you? Ice is melting! Empires are falling!

With tenderness,
