A Safe Space for Horny Despair

Well, it finally happened - my drawings violated community standards on Instagram. Time to get a room! We need a place to reckon with our horny despair - a term I just learned from Leora Fridman, author of Bound Up: On Kink, Power, and Belonging. I started making these drawings as a way of processing grief after a breakup, but also as a way of reasserting power and pleasure in a world that breaks my heart daily with its perpetual cycles of violence.

You may already know me as a poet who writes into the intersections of horniness and despair. I will post poems and essays as well as drawings here, and am eager to hear your thoughts on them. I hope you will come with me on this raunchy, healing journey and see where it takes us!
