Hey, it’s been a fucking while and i’m sorry about that.
I didn’t mean to be gone for so long with no communication, and I don’t have much of a reason or explanation for it other than that I was a lot more burned out and needed a lot more of a break than I thought. And also just, y’know, life is a lot. First things first, though!
This is an antifascist space: Fascists of any kind (including but not limited to: neonazis, terfs and other transphobes, and cops), their politics, and their rhetoric are not welcome here and i sincerely wish them all nothing but the absolute fucking worst: [REDACTED], you fucken maggots.
So, i’m back, kinda, but probably not the same as before: I still feel burned out tbh just, like, all the time and I don’t think I can go back to running NGC like I used to, so, some changes i’ve considered and am most likely gonna implement from now on:
- idk if i’ll still take requests. Right now i’m thinking i’ll leave things open for people to make requests but most of them probably won’t get done unless inspiration just hits me for them in particular - i’m sorry if that’s disappointing, i’ve really enjoyed writing pieces for you all but it’s just not something i think i can continue to consistently provide to all/most requests that get made: it’s a lot of emotional and creative labour on my part and i just can’t provide that anymore - i’ll do what I can, but that’s all I can offer.
- I probably won’t answer questions about religious practice and related topics so much from now on: again, i’ve really enjoyed it but I just don’t have the energy to commit consistently to it anymore - if something particularly piques my interest and inspires me to write about it then sure, but otherwise, just like with requests, i’ll do what i can.
- I’m thinking of changing the name? Norse God Calls just doesn’t really vibe for me anymore… Idk, we’ll see.
- The pieces that I write going forward are definitely gonna feature and focus much more specifically on antifascist, queer, and anarchist concepts and sentiments.
The majority of my creative labour is focused on my fiction writing now but I am still absolutely drawn and compelled to create spiritual pieces of writing for Norse Pagan practice and I still want to share them, so I will, but I can’t promise any more than that.
What I mainly want to do here now is just have a place to share the pieces that I write, when I happen to write them, with no pressure to try and be consistently engaged or engaging because as much as i’ve enjoyed that engagement in the past I simply don’t have the capacity to continue like that anymore; honestly, I don’t think I had the capacity for it before either, hence the burnout.
Thank you to all of you who have supported and appreciated the writing I’ve shared here, and I hope you’ll continue to even after such a long break and a future of likely sporadic updates/posts going forward.
