River’s Queeries
Below you can see my Substack posts and other writings – essays, poems, monologues, and just general reflections/ragings. I invite you to read with care and notice what comes up for you, in your body, your emotions, your imagination. Writing for me is a really powerful way of connecting – with my thoughts and with others. I hope these writings and your reflections/reactions to them spark conversation and joy and hope. Let’s build a radical awesome queer futurity together. xoxo – Riv
