reader, please

welcome to Dolly Scribes by me, Dolly Rose! 🎀

i realized my Instagram posts were basically tiny personal essays, and it probably wasn’t a great platform for expressing those ideas anymore, so i’m giving this newsletter thing a shot.

essentially, i’ll be writing about how i strive to define my own relationships to sex & sexuality, pleasure, and love in a world that often tries to deny my right to enjoy those things as a Black, fat, queer, woman.

more specifically?

things i’m likely to write about: Blackness, the ubiquitous evils of white supremacy, the patriarchy, misogyny, and the compulsory expectations of the labor of women & femmes, pervasive capitalism and its corrosive nature, pleasure based sex education, queer sex, sex-positivity, sexual deviance/BDSM/kink, fat-positivity, my mental health/mental health in general, my partner(s), Relationship Anarchy/non-monogamy.

but also: real-big ladies, 70s fashion, Fleetwood Mac, gold things, Tina Turner, The Ikettes, Tina Turner & The Ikettes, movies/tv, how The Baby-Sitters Club made me gay, FloJo’s nails, lucite furniture, astrology (Capricorn Sun, Taurus Moon, Gemini Rising), leather, latex, lace, velvet…

we’re gonna start off with everything free, and if i get real prolific, maybe i’ll make a paid level of membership.
