Love this, love you! Twin Peaks was my childhood favorite show, I couldn’t get enough of it. My oldest is a huge Lynch fan bc of Dune. What a terrible loss for us all 😢

Thank you for telling this story the way you did. Tearing up.

i originally asked @samanthaallen.bsky.social to let me write about "fix your hearts or die" back in the summer of 2022, and tried and failed to get through to lynch. when the series aired in 2017, i actually read her writing about transness in the show. today we got to work on this together <3
