Can I translate one of your essays?
Emphatically, yes! I am extremely honored by any time and labor anyone would like to put into translating my work. If you do decide to translate one of my essays, I would love to have a copy so that it can be accessible through this site! If you have a host site you’ve shared the translation on I can link to that site directly, or you can send me a PDF and I’ll host it myself. If you’d like to send me a translation of one of my essays, please email me at butchanarchy@protonmail.com and title the email “(Essay Title) (Target Language) Translation.” You can access existing translations of my work on my Writing page.
Can I distribute your essays or use your art on something?
Again, yes! Feel free and encouraged! I don’t believe in intellectual property and mostly have a lot of gratitude that people want to share what I write or have allowed my work to influence their own creativity or personal expression. If you have the means to financially support me and wish to do so as a thank you, it would be deeply appreciated, but it is not a necessary condition for using what I make.
Can I contact you? (or) Why haven’t you responded to me yet?
You can certainly attempt to contact me at butchanarchy@protonmail.com! I would like to encourage it! I am very sincerely interested in asks to collaborate with other creative radicals, in offers to platform my work, in requests to support or boost other projects, and in sweet supportive messages letting me know how my work has impacted you. Please send them! However, when you do so please understand that I have ADHD and struggle daily with intense chronic pain. I am disabled. My desire to connect with everyone I can, while sincere, vastly outstrips my actual capacity. I do not and cannot respond to a vast majority of the messages I receive. If you do reach out to me, please do so with the understanding that it may take a while for me to get to you, if I ever do, and if I don’t it is far more likely to be a reflection of my limited capacity than it is to be a reflection of how I feel about you or your message!
