You can now be a queer kid in a rural place where you don't know anybody queer, and you can have an online community that makes you feel as unalone as you've ever felt in your life.
And that is absolutely life-saving.
There's I can't think of anything more important that the internet could be doing.
But they know that the brain chemistry, when you release dopamine, when you release oxytocin, all the reward system is really geared towards in-person relationships.
Okay, well that thank you.
That's a great I love multi-passionate.
I just wrote that down so that I can have it tattooed onto my wrist because that's such a polite way to describe what I do.
I have been a writer.
in some ways for my whole life, but I had a long divergent path through grad school.
I actually got a PhD in literature in the nineteen nineties and then
We had a baby, we were living in a friend's room, a friend's house, one room in a friend's house, my partner and I, with a baby, both of us trying to finish PhDs, and we thought, What are we doing?
Moved from California back to the East Coast.
And so then neither of us actually wanted to be academics.
And so both of us finished our PhDs, and then my husband went to massage school.
He is a massage therapist.
And I wound up writing kind of full-time as a freelancer.
So
That has looked like writing
copy for co-text that's like, don't worry, you had a baby, the tampon won't fall out.
That kind of like terrible work.
