this cuts deep: https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence/ made me think of #pastagang a few times. some excerpts (or should i say mantras): "We don't want your polished draft. We want your mess." "I made a writing garden. It's full of weeds. It's messy. Nothing is polished. It's not perfect." "Hey, there's a place where you don't have to be perfect." "Let it be bad," "Be bad. Be furious. Be unintelligible." "It means the gain is too high. It means we are pushing the limits." "You love the chaos of a human mind trying to explain itself to another human mind." "broken things still make sound."
