#archving

i started a book club with one of my friends two years ago and now we are starting a "radical vulnerability" club, or an oversharing salon, where we will get together and cook for each other, and drink wine, and talk about our lives. which is what we do as friends anyways, but something about formalizing it is really nice. making it intentional.

i first started thinking and writing and reading about vulnerability after finding emily gould's tumblr, after reading and the heart says whatever (at the recommendation of riese from autostraddle - whose personal memoir/blog i had also obsessively read) and also finding karaj's tumblr through emily's tumblr and then through karaj so many more. and it's kind of magical to me how i needed these voices and then i found them and once i found one, that led me to another and another. and i know this is just my way into this, there's lots of other ways.
