I haven't watched season 2 of Heartstopper yet, but have read the books and seen season 1—in which there was a dance scene that me absolutely bawl because of the queer joy of it all. Part of me feels sad that media like this didn't exist when I was the age of these characters, but the bigger part of me is so relieved for the generations behind mine that they get to see themselves reflected in pop culture.
I somehow missed your last post, so got a two-for-one mega deal ☺️ This is sort of how I’m thinking my newsletters will be, things I’m noticing, reading about, watching. And then some of my art and studio stuff thrown in as well 😄 PS: I love the idea of a womb space in the house 💜
I am a HUGE Patricia Clarkson fan and I can’t wait to read the article and learn more about her sexy ass life! I always sensed she was a ‘kindred spirit’ for me! And the idea of grief at the end of a creative project makes a lot of sense to me - I trained as a specialist in The Grief Recovery Method and we are all experiencing unresolved grief from loss in lives, big AND small, and a lot of it due to the little losses we don’t recognize as such. I’m excited to look at every juicy link in this post!! This feels like a great way to post on Substack for you!
Heartstopper is so tender & wonderful, and yes, the graphic novels are even better! There is so much media that I wish had existed when I was growing up. I put myself into boxes that I didn’t really have to, but things were just different.
Thank you for a snapshot of your life. August included house/pet sitting, visiting my parents, helping my kid deal with a mildewed college apartment and staining decks. A bit too full but it had moments of clarity and pockets of creativity. ❤️
Thanks for the fun inspiring links to explore and loved the studio video!
I like this Freudian slip: “floor to ceiling book selves.” Xx
omg i didn't spot that - LOVE IT!!!!
Now I am going to have to watch Heartstopper :-)

Thanks for this insight Susannah, it’s good to see you back 💕. And I think nothing in life is wasted, it makes us who we are today..... big hugs 🤗
