from The First Email:

There are no “rules” to the network we create, and there are no rules to what you should or should not share, except to consider:

I have sent this email to you, because you are my ideal audience. You make me want to produce something that is authentic to myself without fear of judgment. It does not feel like a waste of time for me to try to live as myself and do it with you watching. I am only interested in a growing network of the special kind of souls who whisper out to one another, ‘come on! it’s safe to come out and play!’

What would you share if it were safe to come out and play?

Who would you want to share it with?

If you’ve taken the time to genuinely consider those questions and what they mean to you, then anything you want to share is welcome, and anyone you want to share it with is welcome too.
