Ch'ang Ch'u Ling, Translated By Kenneth Rexroth, From A Poem Titled "Since You Left,"

I like the collage

I just finished the second week of uni. It went by really quickly, it's been good. I don't have much work yet so I've been getting back into substack lately.

I made an instagram account specifically for my writing, it's @thatswhytheycallmeanitaa, i hope you follow it. I also hope you follow my substack, you won't regret it.

I'm currently reading Antigone, for uni; it always makes me tear up. I'm writing a lot, in fact I will post an essay on substack tomorrow (hopefully).

Substack is a strange place, just as tumblr or letterboxd are, it's hard to find a community there, plus nobody I know in real life ever uses any of these apps. Most of my Substack followers and subscribers are people I know irl who decided to subscribe to do me a favor, but they never read, like or comment on my posts; it's discouraging.

For all my life I've thought the only possible job I could ever have was to be a writer or artist, now, already in university, I fear people might not want to consume my art; I fear being invisible.

Maybe this is weird, but I'm scared. I've only ever wanted to write, and to have people consume my writing.

Anyways, I'm going crazy but I still love all of you,

Xx, lots of love,

Anna

Golden-age hollywood, especially the more niche parts (not just Marilyn Monroe even though she’s very cool). Topics such as Alla Nazimova’s circle, Dorothy Arzner, the original creator of Mädchen in Uniform etc. Even just the more raunchy films or music pre-Hays code.

The lore from the author of goodnight moon, I used to be really obsessed with her

Franz Kafka’s sleep schedule /j no but seriously I did an entire 30 minute project when I was like 13 on his sleep schedule

The one billion futures I planned out for myself 😔

The cereal scene from the J. Edgar movie, because it has a mention of babygirl lorena hickok in it. Also, Clyde is eating post toasties. I read the original script for that movie actually.

btw looks like I forgot to tag some people so let’s go @bajaja-blast and @weeewooobitsfallout 💝

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.
