Thanks for this writing. You capture the surreal horror of this time so well. Your presentation sounds fascinating, I wish I could attend. (Weirdly I have friends who are presenting at the same conference…! but I’m stuck on the east coast.) I’d love to see writing on that topic, if writing about it here something that interests you. Love and solidarity.

Hi Rachel!

Thanks so much for sharing and commenting. We live in a weird, post-apocalyptic world that I'm trying to make sense of. Thank you for the well-wishes for my conference! I actually feel like the presentation is going to make it into a book somehow-- just my feelings :-)

Let me know who your friends are! I'd love to connect. That being said, if you're interested-- I've had some interest in having this workshop recorded, and I might offer it out on the East Coast. If you're in NYC, let me know! Would love to community build along side you somehow.

Solidarity in arms,

Christa

So exciting that there's a book brewing! I think there is so much interest in building relationship and community according to disability justice principles, and finding new ways to support and be in kinship with each other. I find this topic so exciting. My friends are Bianca Alba and Jera Brown, they're presenting on the intersection of polyamory and spirituality and I'm sure they'd love to connect.

I'm New York adjacent--closer to Boston--but I'm still recovering from a major crash and am mostly stuck in bed these days. But I'd definitely be interested seeing a recording of your session. And I'd love to find ways to build community and just be in dialog about this stuff. -Rachel

Rachel,

I'm going to reach out in the DMs! Grateful to connect and also love that we exist at the intersections of the occult/magical and the craft of writing.
