“The Dust – Oh, The Dust…”

Hey there, all you lovely folks.

 

After months of attempting to tinker with, fix, and re-install the wordpress website that I’d been working on the past few years – I’ve decided that for the time being it’s easier and more efficient to transplant myself back on Squarespace.

 

At this point, most of the site is operating and functional but you can expect to see a few more sections appear over the upcoming weeks such as:

 

  • About Le Rouge Sublet (LRS) & Tangled Vines (TVs) – This section will briefly talk about the internal spaces, beings, and stories that interweave between my partner and I. Because our universes overlap and it is reflected in much of the art, writing, and beyond that is being shared here – I felt that the additional insight is important.   

  • Resources – I intend for the resource section to be something that continues to expand as time goes on. From links to tutorials for art and miscellaneous crafts, links and recommendations for books/videos/etc on self-help and healing, community resources, links for activism and supporting marginalized causes, and more. Long term, I would love for this to be a collaborative effort. 

  • How To Help – For those of you who don’t know, my partner and I lost our home in 2020 early on during covid and have since been living with friends in VA while we get back on our feet. We had started rebuilding a bus as a living space but were not able to complete the project (which was another physical, emotional, and financial blow). This section will have ways that folks can help monetarily or otherwise both for our current situation but also for our long-term goals of building a wildlife sanctuary and safe space for queer and marginalized people.

  • Links Out – Links to projects worked on by friends, colleagues, and other like-minded people.

  • WIP Blog – A blog that will serve as both a “sketchbook” and drafting book – where I post doodles and sketches, map out plans for larger projects, and post written or drawn drafts.

 

In the future, I will be using this main blog to post a variety of content such as but not limited to:

 

  • Photo journaling and talking about experiences

  • Reviewing books, art/crafting supplies, etc.

  • Articles about human and/or animal behavior, consciousness, queerness, activism and ending oppression, gardening and self-sustained living, really whatever I am compelled to focus on at that time.

  • Sharing “recipes” (I say, in quotations, because I generally improvise amounts and ingredients every time I cook…haha) and pictures of food that I’ve made or been served

  • Personal Writing and Poetry

 

I look forward to talking more on here and becoming a bit more engaging on social media as well. It’s nice to be back and I hope you enjoy your time here.

 

Be good to yourselves and each other.

 

Until next time,
