I misread the title like crazy when I saw the email and I thought you were quitting I was like NOOOOO. But then I read the piece and oof, I really need these words. Thank you.
something i really appreciated about this piece, apart from how lovely it is, is it made me mad lol. it made me go no! it matters! we matter and the stuff we make matters in the middle of everything! and it can be hard these days to call up that much feeling about it, and that’s a gift, so thank you
As I read, my moods sank, simmered, snorted, seethed …and I emerged with my sketchbook. A moment of communication with whomever before work pulls me back in. Thank you
Just letting you know I've had this up a literal week in my tabs, working up the courage to read it. Pretty sure it's going to gut me and I'm not ready. Will come back here to report after! 😂
I'm going to tell people this essay is structured like End of Evangelion. I'm not sure how much it'll hold up to any kind of real scrutiny, but it feels right in this moment.
It specifically hit me in the last bit because of the line in End of Eva "Then what do we have hands for?" that gets asked of Shinji during the Komm, süßer Tod sequence.
