hey i'm a femme dyke from the faraway """3rd world"" and i want to say ive been obsessed w u since my early 20s... i think you are one of the most talented n daring writers of the apocalyptic age. as i crawl back to writing after yrs of neglecting it in favour of medicine its your work i turn to to remind myself What Writing Can Be if u r brave enough if u have enough liver! im a doctor working in an emergency room now and im generally very bored by writing thats "gory" or "visceral" or "body horror" bc it is always so tame and dull and silly in comparison to what im blessed to see in my work but YOU!! get it!! you write about the body turned inside out in a way that i can smell and feel!! thank u!! u make me feel like a bloodsoaked sleepless deadeyed woman shaped thing like me has a place in Writing maybe!! if u ever come to south africa hmu ill teach u how to put in a chest drain! thank u for existing <3

thank you <33 it means a lot coming from someone who works in the ER, this message made me super happy! yeah I dislike when writing is just a flat sentiment of the real thing, the body is full of flavor and smell and it has to be honest...good luck with your writing and your medicine. I read The Kindly Ones linked thru your site and it really hit. I have a lot of the same fears around psych stuff and the entire dissonance of it all, it's so dehumanizing.
I would love to know how to put in a chest drain. if you ever visit Cali, I'll take you up on it!
