[about why Joan doesn't own a Twitter account and doesn't want to open one] The truth is that I tried twitter and it wasn't for me. I'm iffy on social media altogether. The people that have kind things to say, and that want to interact with me are really great- but social media requires a lot of upkeep, and it's very performative; I don't like performing constantly in that way. I'm super up for YouTube, but I don't quite have a fully formed vision yet, and I'd want to do it right. I sometimes fantasize about deleting my Instagram and Tumblr, but I don't really think that's a good idea right now.
I really do appreciate the people though. You guys are great, and I don't even know how to react to some of the kind things that you have to say. I feel like I haven't earned it yet, in a way. There's a lot that I want to create and put out there, but there's a long road ahead of me. Working with Thomas (Sanders) is pretty fulfilling though- we're planning some really, really exciting stuff for SS (Sanders Sides). That's the work that's helping me keep things together right now, tbh.
