Thanks for sharing your archive of brilliant incisive writing. It seems like a world away from the current political conundrums, but your insights on gender and spectatorship are still so apt.
Writers share history. Great writers shape it. Thank you for sharing truth. It is a constancy throughout all of your work that I have read. I look forward to reading more.
I still have Talking About My Abortion bookmarked, even though it's a broken-down page on a site that has mutated from what it once was. That piece means a lot to me. The decay and destruction of digital media is horrifying to me both personally and professionally (I actually am a librarian; many of my colleagues are on the front lines of preserving digital data and media). Seeing writers and artists like you, like Brian Merchant, republish and recirculate pieces is heartening, how we can all care for and support our shared digital ecosystem in the face of the degradation from capitalism and carelessness.
I remember stumbling onto this essay after donating to your Week In Hell Kickstarter. It was a bracing and powerful read then and now. I'm glad you're preserving it here, where more folks can find it, and share in your powerful insights into patriarchy, gender, labor, and the searing insect eye of the camera.
Loved those last two lines! Thank you for sharing
I’m so glad I got into landscapes. I tried to be a GWC, but didn’t have what it takes.
I have followed your work and career for many years and hold your commitment to the arts and humanity in the highest regard.
