I have said this to others and go on record here, I think she is the most relevant, contemporary artist, in ANY genre. She captures the aesthetic and zeitgeist of the rapidly advancing digital/quantum age and all its possibilities. All while being cute and innocent and so incredibly adorkable. But, I’ve totally digressed . . . thank you for your reintroduction; there are some things in there I did not know. I’m glad to be following you.
Loved learning all of this about you! I may do something similar in my own newsletter, linking to you as inspo. Also, I vote for Ayahuasca Star Child. Dad’s last name is Starr and he’s obsessed with Paul Stanley so he calls me Starr Child.
❤️❤️❤️❤️anytime! I want to do some artist and writer residencies at the dome, but haven’t quite figured out the details for that yet. Maybe you could be my first writer in residency!
And thanks for the name vote! I’m leaning towards that too!
And def feel free to copy my template. Actually I have a notion template for the rapid fire questions. Will paste in and update the article in case anyone wants to use it. Thanks!
An artist residency would be so perfect there! And I’d be honored to be included. I’m the non-fiction teacher for an upcoming Dublin retreat in May so this is very much up my alley 😎
Love the dome. What a cool property. Go Dad for building it…Thanks for the update on you. All is well in my world. Loving my Substack writing, though I only post twice per month as the debut novel is getting a re-vamp…in the home stretch, thank goodness. See you in September on Zoom.
Yay! And no wrong number to post. I like having a haphazard schedule with my posts. I try and do one weekly, but if I don’t, I also don’t stress about it.
Me too! Might be time soon to rewatch the whole series in chronological order. The Return is perhaps actually my favorite season. It’s just SO cinematic. So epic.
If people really want to smoke a cigarette with me though, and I'm at a party or something, I probably wouldn't say no. So I guess maybe sometimes is more the true answer, but def not my favorite.
Freaking love this re-introduction. Did not know your MFA was in Documentary Arts (just new you used to fuck around with them). As I read through this I thought to myself "you are the coolest person I know and I'm so grateful to be your friend." Keep creating cool shit! xo
Ahhh you are so sweet! The masters I truly did to stay in Canada. I got a scholarship and it worked out for immigration reasons, but I loved it! And did make two films, one of which-Slut or Nut: The Diary of a Rape Trial screened all over the world! And is available on most streaming platforms. Amazon Prime changed title though to Diary of a Rape Trial. The word Slut was too much for them apparently. 😂
What a fascinating and variety-filled life you lead! I, too, am in a complicated relationship with Bread.
Hahaha it’s very love hate!
If I'm not mistaken, didn't we discover we both love Grimes? I seem to remember we both fan-geeked a little when she made her appearance here.
YES! I love Grimes too! Love all her records and her style and her thoughts. Everything! Grimes Stan 100%!

Thank you! And yes. I agree. That person used to be Kanye for me, but he really let himself go down a dark path, let down fans like me.
Now, since her work with AI, I def see it as Grimes. No other musician comes close in this Acceleration Era.

Also omg I reallllly want to stay in your airbnb!

So cool! This Irish one looks amazing! Ok going to keep you in mind.

And can’t wait to hear about the debut!
Great to meet more of you! This is a fab intro and I like the template idea, I may use it. I am also a Lynch junkie! 🥧☕️🦉
Yay! Love Lynch! Which is your favorite?
Twin Peaks for life. I go back and forth about getting a small themed tattoo 👀 did you like the return?
I loved it. I actually already have a Twin Peaks tattoo, though most wouldn’t recognize it. It’s my own personal inside joke on my forearm.
Girl what?! Can you send me a picture 🥺 ILY lol and I loved the return! The pie scene with the Mitchum brothers is possibly the best thing ever
Me too! Might be time soon to rewatch the whole series in chronological order. The Return is perhaps actually my favorite season. It’s just SO cinematic. So epic.
I do that every fall and just slowly watch everything for months, it’s quite fulfilling
Oh and I vote for the aya book title, seems like a good keyword to get attention
do you smoke? like a cheeky ciggie every-now-and-again?
I smoke pot sometimes, but no more cigarettes, just enjoy the nicotine gum. Don’t like the Zyns either, though I know that’s all the rage.
If people really want to smoke a cigarette with me though, and I'm at a party or something, I probably wouldn't say no. So I guess maybe sometimes is more the true answer, but def not my favorite.
