has written about how in his coaching he kept running into people who have entire novels in them but were convinced they couldn’t be writers there’s a lot of y’all like this out here and i want so much for you to find the encouragement you need

@DarbraDawn

once described tpot to me as something like “people who should’ve been theater kids” and i can’t get it out of my head. felt very seen and i am not the only one with an artist inside trying to come out, i saw some of you bitches at the poetry reading

may all beings express themselves in art in whatever way feels good and right to them. may all beings create art that moves them and, perhaps, some others too

little encouragements, giving each other permission to take tentative baby steps in the directions of our dreams, by providing each other a context to be interestingly imperfect and make mistakes safely... next thing ya know everyone's really, really good twitter.com/visakanv/statu

There's someone in TPOT who everyone knows is a good poster, who I know, privately, is an off-the-charts talented poet, who makes work that's tender and sexy and idiosyncratic and wonderful And it makes me wonder how much talent is buried around here I think: a huge amount

i can play (at varying levels of skill) three musical instruments and for some reason i'm struggling with starting learning a fourth. i've never really thought about trying hard to get good at playing or creating music

I'm saving this tweet, so I never lose it 😌 Makes my heart wake up when I hear people talk about art as if it is important and pleasure giving. I often dont believe it myself.
