Perfect, venerable! Encouraging!

I'm hesitant myself about attending a queer poetry night myself...

It’s so much fun!! I know how scary it can feel, but know that you’re in such good company. Find somewhere at the back where you feel safe, arrive just before and leave just after if you need to, and don’t pressure yourself to do anything more than simply show up 🫶🏽

This is really sweet Madeline :') I completely agree, I'm so grateful that substack has given me space to breathe and experiment while I find my feet with poetry and prose. It's so special. And I'm so happy I made your day hehe <333
