Be part of a community of people who share your interests. The only way to support my work is to share, comment or sign up for a free subscription. My intention is to make readers pause—maybe come to a full stop. Then think and have thoughtful conversations online and in real life.

Please take this as my only explicit content/trigger warning. Most of my writing is raw, profane and no judgement ever, but it may shock the more sensitive reader. It is not for the faint of 🩷
