“I feel so clearly called to death and birth work in this primal way of, like, this is what I'm here for now. All of the logistics of capitalism have not been mastered and would love to put the onus of mastery to someone else to just make it possible for me to do this. Because this feels so like even the gentle way that I'm sometimes feeling guided to death work in this place. I love old people and I love talking to people about their reproductive organs and how all of these things go together. And it just seems like only in weird deathy spaces or weird birthworky spaces do I feel at home.”
