i love the way you talk about object permanence - i never thought about my forgetting what helps me and is important to me as perhaps related to that. i also want to make a coffee table book entitled "food I really meant to eat" that's just pictures of plates i fixed and abandoned :)
Wow…she just gave words to so much of what I’ve been thinking of in my own life. It’s Why I needed my own substack to be a place to be a table as a way to locate myself. Damn. I have to sit with this one for a bit.
This piece was moving and so relatable. I’ve written so much about place as it relates to home, which I finally realize is not a physical location but exists in my being. And I return to a line by Anna Husain again and again: “How many places must we live/Or unlive, before we are home.”
I see humanity in this post. I believe the arts are going to be important in this age of ai.
The coast of Oregon, which is really beautiful, inspired me to write, after almost a lifetime of living in the Midwest.
Beautifully written with beautiful photos too.
ooh I really love this, Emily. the imperative to "locate yourself" is such a rich one.

love this piece, especially rethinking "putare" and pruning :) thank you for sharing!!
