This was such a lovely meditation by Beth Kephart on fear, rejection--and following our obsessions anyway.
In an industry rife with disappointment and no's, it's inspiring to turn toward the career and ideals of @kelceyervick.bsky.social. A celebration of her here, today: thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/the-unafra...
