Earlier this week, I wrote an unserious newsletter to call out a Christian Nationalist for labeling Colleen Hoover’s books pornography. I’m dealing with several stressful things behind the curtain right now, and I thought it might be a good escape to read a book, watch a movie, and write about them for work.
I had grand plans to show off my extensive knowledge of how different authors write about sex and intimacy. Those examples would educate readers on just how far to the right Christo-fascist Republicans would define pornography.
Life has a visceral habit of reminding me why I stopped being a planner.
This project took me to a very dark place and caused me to relive major trauma I haven’t written about publicly. If I’ve ever talked or written about it, I spit-shined it to be not as traumatic as it was. I’m still processing those emotions, which is why I don’t have a real newsletter today.
All newsletters will be paywalled next week. Readers will understand why when we get there.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone. Thanks for being here.
