Reiteration

“After long consideration, I’m posting once more to say I will not be available.

Thousands were removed from my list in connection with ongoing harassment traceable to one person. I have been largely absent from social media already — what I post is never in real time.

I work alone, and I prefer it. Writing and painting have been my modus operandi since childhood. I’m returning my hours to them.

Loss, violence, and loving people in war-torn worlds change a person. I no longer extend availability to those who haven’t earned it.

I’ll be busy.”
