*And then there’s time. The slow, indifferent healer who doesn’t care how much you plead for a fast-forward button.*

Beautifully put.

That thing of suddenly having to deal with being out to everybody, without warning or preparation, is brutal. I’ve been outed in the paper twice, once when a candid photo of me at a pride parade got printed in the local paper (I was 16, and actually wrote about this in my most recent newsletter!), and once when a vengeful ex who also happened to write an art column for the local alt weekly decided to write a feature featuring (so to speak) my kinks. It’s not easy stuff. I hope you’re taking lots of time and space for self care, and I’m glad to hear you have a network of supportive relationships. And I hope the dust settles soon. Love and solidarity ❤️
