The Yearning

About the Substack

A newsletter about queer tv, movies and the people who make them. The Yearning is reviews, recommendations, discussions and essays on why we believe that two women looking longingly at each other onscreen isn't enough.

Unsupervised

Wild at heart, weird on top, and publicly learning to love myself. These letters make frequent stops at personal histories, relationships, communal living, addiction, making art, & navigating the digital Anthropocene. It ain't much but it's honest work.
