TFW: the feels, again w/ Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, Paula Mejia, Patti Harrison, Molly Long, Muna Mire & Alain Ginsberg

‘TFW catching feels’ returns on valentine’s day year 2. TFW radical vulnerability’s got you feeling some type of way. TFW u r married to the grind but also married to the state. TFW friendship is a way of life. TFW self-reliance is a neoliberal myth and we depend on each other for survival. TFW caring for each other is full of radical possibilities. TFW we’re not convinced love is going to trump hate but we’re gonna love the shit out of whatever does. TFW we are pushed outside the confines of individualism and the feels are catching.

TFW wants to showcase the stuff you write on the low, the wild side of your double life, the unpublished stuff that even your closest friends might not get a chance to read. Maybe these other writing practices aren’t ~*secret*~ so much as they’re not your ~*main thing*~. TFW can be a space for stepping into other roles: where bloggers are poets and lyricists are essayists and grantwriters are playwrites, etc. It can also just be a space where writers from different circles can hang out, get to know one another, and share their work IRL, where it won’t be permanently archived or cycled as content.
