Appreciate that. It’ll work out regardless it’s just a question of how painful it’s gonna be. We’re looking for things we might be able to pawn or sell.
If all you’ve got is an outdated list (not that that’s not a good win, congrats), you’re definitely still in a place where a dedicated core is ideal. When I was trying to bootstrap an organizing committee, I didn’t even use the U word until someone committed to helping with one-on-one’s.
I know that this is the least of the worries when it comes to the effects of sexual assault, but I’m talking to a friend who recently went public about their assault and one of the aspects of that was that the trauma from that was why she stopped drawing for years. She is to this day such an incredible artist and it just makes me mourn all the little losses that come alongside the big ones. I’ve spent a lot of time with individual people processing trauma from this. But as that scales, it is truly a theft of life on a mass scale.
This season’s been rough on everyone. Most of my usual outlets for asking for help are in similar situations. We’re about helping each other and letting it all come out in the wash. But that’s a lot more difficult when everyone’s in a bad spot.
I am fully convinced that her ability to take constructive criticism has plummeted since she became wealthy and famous, including and especially in her writing. The Harry Potter books are a bloated mess on top of all their thematic failures, but they still have some sort of flow to them. I just highly doubt her ability to coherently edit down her writing.
Actually, that’s something that doesn’t get talked about much. She’d been writing bits and pieces of Harry Potter forever before she finally finished a single book. And the catalyst for her ability to finally push through and write a book? She was on welfare even though she had a child. The story is always told like that. As if being a poor parent is some inherent rock bottom she had to climb up from.
