thank you so much for sharing this !! this RULES on so many levels

"I don’t know how to (en)trust my body like that" gave me SHIVERS.. the power of the parenthesis

@litodons @zpires thank you so much for reading ++ sharing ++ letting me know you liked it! It means the world to me πŸ’—πŸ˜­πŸ’š
@cavar @litodons Thank you for writing this! The idea of writing as doing something together with the people who made the affordances for doing so really struck me-- not least as the user of digital tools made by friends no longer with us.
@litodons @quinnanya this is such a crucial part of my writing and research practice, and I’m so honored that you picked it up. Would love to chat more about it anytime!!
@cavar @litodons When I saw those lines, I immediately went to save them and the URL for future pondering and reference! If you're feeling up for it at some point, maybe we could grab Zoom coffee sometime in the new year?
