Jessie Sage Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I’m watching @pjrey’s class now bc author Brian Broome is a guest, talking about his book Punch Me Up to the Gods. At the beginning of his talk he says, “One day you figure out what you’re for.” Thinking about “what you’re for” instead of “who you are” feels like a useful framing

In The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion comments that there is no real way to deal with all that we lose in life. I think about this all the time.

If you’re looking for someone to give you tax advice or even help you file your complicated sex work return, I would suggest @TaxDomme! She’s also written a book: The Tax Domme's Guide for Sex Workers and All Other Business People https://t.co/stfQWJnULF

I’ve been reading/devouring @maggiesmithpoet’s new memoir We Could Make This Place Beautiful & I’ve never read any depiction of divorce that more closely aligns with my own. I’m learning so much about my own feelings and experiences. I feel held. Or validated. Or both.
