Thank you!! I need to catch back up on Substack in general. I haven’t been reading much either. How have you been?

I think the great thing about substack is you can’t miss too much, you can just slip into people’s archive (I find myself doing this a lot 😂). I’ve been good, looking forward to summer! How are things in France?

Such a good point. I should pick a few authors and dig in. I’m still settling in (I really need to become fluent in the language 😅), but I’m loving it here. How’s everything in your world?

This resonates so much as I grapple with many of the same thoughts. Welcome back.

It’s been so difficult to wrestle with ideas, particularly when it’s been a year of constant tragedy. It’s hard to get your bearings!

Thanks Rae! 🫶🏻 Substack is one of those places where it’s easy to question if anyone will notice your writing has stopped, when there is a sea of brilliant writing here.

Oh welcome back, I'd been thinking about you and realised you hadn't posted for a while, but then, neither have I. Totally understand your thinking and right behind you.

I buried myself in a hole for a minute! Substack got to be too much all at once 🫣 hope you’re doing well!

exactly! I’ve just managed to post my first since April too. Fingers crossed, we’ll both manage to keep going, however much our brains or life get in the way.

I’ll take a look at your latest! And agree, fingers crossed. It’s why I’m giving myself the breathing room to show up exactly how I am.

Didn’t know she said ‘fuck the niche’ but I rather like that. It wd be a good substack title in fact.

I just discovered a talk she did a couple of months ago - posted it today and it was incredible
