adored this omakase offering of musings! <3 thank you!!!

i have been thinking so much about 'loving corrections' and 'survival is a promise' in tandem this week! amb reflecting on ursula le guin's correspondence... this reminder that some of june jordan's correspondence remaining sealed until 2050... it has me wondering what kind of archive we'll have from our generation. (text threads? emails?)

i'm obsessed (and very concerned) about the archives of the future. can we trust meta to protect our most precious interactions....

Doubling the praise for this omakase offering. I love your riff on "demure", a word last said with a straight face perhaps in 1950's Hollywood. No one is demure in a post-WAP America! We know too much, we ARE too much. Lebron brilliantly winks at this reality, to our collective joy. Thank you for treating all texts with care. In the words of Danez Smith - you are a school (!). And we are back to school with gratitude. Longtime fan, grateful for your inklings however they come :)
