Ways to help me stay sane during winter

Stumbled across this ... it's from February 2023. Notice that it's the opposite of harassing me while I wank, or forcing me to make a film. 1. Write to me.   I can’t overemphasise this: I get lonely, and then I stop reaching out because I seldom got replies in the past from emailing people. Making me feel part of a community starts with reaching out to me, and it’s nice to see something in my inbox. 2. Hang out with me. I’m sick of all my friendships being dependent on creative work. What that really means is that they’re only work relationships, and that’s kind of irritating. This, of course, is a missive to all those people who aren’t already my friends: it’s not meant for Lucinda or Amber or any of those friends. Coffee, movies, walks in the park .. these are all easy enough.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the key. 👍🏻
