i hope this email (blog/multimedia digital hoarding) finds you well!!!
my name is jen :)
i think i just want to make things and am becoming a bit less shy about that. this is a space for well intentioned hoarding: poems and essays and letters, but also sticky notes and playlists and scripts, movie and book reviews, stubborn lyrics, the fabled (eye roll) writing about writing, multimedic collaging, etc etc etc. this want is somewhat of a tough realization in the second year of a chemistry PhD program. but today we say to hell with singularity in ambition! and that the science communication career suggestions end now.
in many ways, i don’t know what this will be. my writing, i know, is still volatile and slippery. my relationship to punctuation is incredibly damaged. i cannot overcome the need to write entirely in lower case, and i ask commas to do way more than they were meant to. but writing is also where i put all my searching. and as much as i love it, i think somewhere along the way i’ve found i also really like, maybe even more so, making the spaces where the writing can emerge.
that is to say, i want this to be that space. our space. i imagine i will grow a lot with it but i hope you feel that you can do so too. there will be ongoing writing prompts and places for community art (your art) to land. there’s a cork board to plug the big and beautiful things the people in my life (you!) are making. there are links to goodreads and letterboxd and spotify so we can hang out there as well. i will also be using this as place for my own writing to live <3
there is no price to subscribing and i hope this is a fun corner of the internet to hang out in :) however if you like the space and want to support it formally there are options to subscribe with feeling that my graduate school income and caffeine consumption would not mind lmao
thanks for being here :))) mwah mwah mwah
