Dispatch #26: Day 433 of the Rebellion

This week I’m celebrating six brave humans who decided to share their art with the world, wrestling with the fact that my brain is currently a raccoon fighting for its life in a dumpster, and reminding myself that our voices matter more than we think they do. We’re talking social media, mental health, community, and the tiny acts of rebellion that make the world a little kinder.

Some weeks you work your ass off, pour your heart into something you believe in, and all you hear back is crickets.

A Meat Suit Jam-Packed Full of Reckless Optimism...

Dear Rebels, This week I have a confession. I’ve been trying way too hard to make this podcast sound professional when the entire operation is basically being run by three kobolds in a trench coat. So we’re doing things differently. We’re talking about getting beat up for being weird, my brief and disastrous attempt at becoming one of the cool kids, why there is absolutely no statistical reason I should exist in my current form, and how all of that somehow led to me starting a queer community arts publication in rural Kansas. Because here’s the thing: Fashion Rebel Nation was never just about a magazine. The magazine is the evidence. The community is the point. And despite all available evidence to the contrary, I still believe in the marrow of my bones that we can build something extraordinary together. So pull up a chair. We’re getting into it.
