Miranda July

patriarchy or those it was those things but they're inside me and I'm still running for dear life or replacing those constructions with new ones you know anything that'll fill up my time take my time please you know Instagram whatever like and so to actually be willing to take on that freedom, it's a real practice.

And that was great for me, who did not want to be taught by anyone anyways, and wanted access to a space, a world, a literal... I mean, I put my first plays on in a punk club in 924 Gilman, a sort of seminal all-ages punk club in Berkeley. And that was... So great. Honestly, I would wish that on any teenager to have the freedom to do something outside of school.

Initially, let's see, my girlfriend and I broke up. She moved out. We had to cover her rent. And I remember my friend at the time said, Like, how are we going to get this money really quickly, you know, that we were missing?
