ever since i was a young girl i dreamed of being the dykë bartender at sapphic night 📸 @natasmack

This song is called s.a.d. :( I dread the winter! I hate it! It's so gray! I'm so tired all the time. When I took a mental health sabbatical in summer 2023 I spent my gift of time painting my entire apartment colours I can feel in my chest because I swear that winter gray makes me numb. I'm going to be spending the next few months looking for all the *colour that's still there, just harder to see sometimes*, blah blah gratitude, metaphors etc. etc... anyway we're all in this together 🫠💖🤝 I'm not great with tech and sound right now! Who cares! You get the idea! G2g must now do all the chores I've been putting off for 6 years xoxo

I wish I could go to the @magical.519 open mic but I'm recovering from COVID (mask up y'all) and I gave this take my all and then had to sit down and catch my breath and I'm now longing for my comfy pants and some gay TV (s/o heartbreak high). Have fun everyone!! Also! Im terrified! To post! myself performing anything!!!! because that means it's recorded and archived and something someone could go... Look at again?! And it doesn't just float away in time gone past like the ephemerality of live performance?!!!! BUT IM trying to share my creative side more so here's a little toe in the water.

that's DOCTOR dyke to you!!!!!!! couldn't have done it without these stoner dykes and my beautiful community of incredible folks in both london and peterborough! so much gratitude to all of y'all who made yesterday so special!!!!💖🥹❣️💟🤠🥲

If you haven't seen or heard from me in the last few weeks, months (years?), it's because I have been hermiting to focus on an important deadline. On Monday, I submitted my doctoral thesis to my examination committee! It's not over yet, I still have to defend the damn thing. But the biggest hurdle has been overcome. I really wanted to share this achievement. Writing a thesis is incredibly isolating, but I have not been alone. The last two photos are screenshots of a paragraph from my acknowledgements section. I have taken too long to send this gratitude. As I note I am a slow, slow human. But I really mean those words. Y'all gave me the time and love and care I needed to finish this degree. I couldn't have done this without so many of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sorry I've been outta touch, outta my community, outta my activism, outta makin silly music, outta commission... I'll slowlyyyyy be getting back to it 🐌
