a lil update x next q&a!
🕑 Added 2025-05-23 19:38:34 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Thanks so much for raising $2,500 for JABCECC's conservation efforts for foxes & wolves! It's been so amazing to raise over $120,000 for various animal charities and independent artists. I'm hoping to get back into more substantial photoshoots when time permits, but I'll be on back to back films for the next 10 weeks. Feeling very, very grateful to be working given the state of my industry.
I'm currently absolutely shattered by a gnarly flu so I'm quarantining in my hotel room prior to next week's shoot - but had some requests for another q&a! Let me know if there are topics you'd like to discuss. It seems like many people here are creative types themselves, so if you'd even like to include some of your background in your question, please know that's welcome!

Congrats on the work! As someone with a loud of life symmetry to you and seeing some of nonsense you have to deal with - how do you balance the need to have outside perspectives to ground you with keeping yourself mentally and physically safe? Women for good reason seem to default to "no first, then let people in that prove themselves", while men need to jump though ever more complex hoops. Forming a honest connection of any kind is tough. Have we gone full circle back to formally announcing intent to court/befriend?
