Cool list of places! I'm also intrigued by what it'd be like to live on a really remote island. I recently read an article about Orkney and all the interesting prehistory stuff there and it really made me want to visit.

Wrote about the town I grew up in for yesterday's Blaugust and how there's nothing to return to.

i have endometriosis as well and didn't get diagnosed until i had a hysterectomy lol . it's so frustrating to not know for sure but to keep having to trial-and-error treat symptoms, i really empathize with this, sending you a hug if you'd like and a firm handshake if not <3

I've spent so much of today just taking my time clicking through and reading so much of your writing, and still feeling like I have only scratched the surface. Your style draws me in so decisively I realized hours had passed by and didn't mind one bit. It really feels like wandering between shelves at a library, pulling out books and being amazed at the things you've left on the pages. Loooove it.

the horror of having to define yourself before you have anything interesting to say: unspeakable

Very relatable blog post. Those sort of exercises are my nightmare. Or something like "name three interesting facts about yourself" - I don't know!! (Also your ex sounds like a jerk.)

I quite enjoy your writing so far! My brain too is so much more peaceful after leaving certain social media platforms (tumblr in my case). I also like that on neocities and the more personal web in general, I have been finding longer form written works (like yours!) with much more thought and nuance behind them, less you're-a-bad-person-if-you-think-[niche opinion that hurts no one in real life]

Exactly! There's less of an immediate knee-jerk reaction that comes at you out of nowhere. I like the slower pace here so much, and the intention of choosing what you read and engage with instead of having it fed to you. (And also thank you so much!)

I do love a good family saga (The Bee Sting included!) Have you read Jane Smiley's "The Last Hundred Years" trilogy? The first book in the series is Some Luck. I remember really enjoying that, although the last book goes a little haywire because Smiley's starting point was like ~95 years before the date when the book was published, so she had a go at predicting the future with... mixed results. But worth a read!
one hundred years of solitude is such an amazing book....the house of the spirits is one of my favorite of the genre. love a good magical realism family saga for the summer
