i like sharing my substack on this site bc i fear this is the only place full of people who read. i’m in the process of revamping (doing away with the monthly strictly music stuff) but i essentially link pop culture, art and feminist praxis. working on an essay rn that i hope to have out by the end of the month.

And I only have one post on there so far which is a personal little ghost story. But as my pineal gland continues to decalcify I’m finding inspiration to create more, starting with a sick but humorous look back on the time my grandfather tried to molest my boyfriend (my mom one of my only subscribers is unironically going to love this one) which some of you may have already read elsewhere under another of my nom de plumes… so if you like the mind of Tate R. Hole and want more longform stories and perhaps some cultural criticism this would be the place to go

Mine is for my friend's blog. Little self-promo moment as the piece is too personal (and meta) to share on my socials. Please let me know what you think if you read it :)

if you think you’re the smartest person in your friend group you’re weird and annoying. the best friendships come out of mutual awe and respectability. be friends with people who make you want to know more things.

i will never be in a situationship in the same way i will never be in the land of oz--it's just not real. i think using the word doesn't let you self-reflect in a way that is truly helpful. i was telling my friend about the awkwardness of seeing an exhook up in a relationship bc i thought we had mutual feelings and she said "oh your exsituationship" and i thought (for the first time) no, we had clear boundaries i just got my hopes up. my point is that instead of using situationship as a catch-all for not quite dating or wtv failed prospect, take it as a moment to reflect on what exactly went wrong. idk if this is profound or not

i’m averaging 14,000 steps a day for the past year, why? i walk everywhere. at one point i was averaging 16,000 (this is my flex). you get to explore a city and now when people ask me for directions i can actually tell them bc i’ve gotten really good at knowing where i am. if it takes less than an hour for me to walk from a to b, i will walk. if i have enough time i’ll walk 2+ hours just to see someone. just put on a good playlist/pod and go go go!!
