Wow. That was... visceral and beautiful in the most horrifying of ways. Thank you for sharing. I'm really glad I read it.

“Acid trip love letter” — if I had a band to name my search would be over. Thanks Deirdre :)

Will, I swear to god everything you write makes me thankful I am lucky enough to be able to read. And that probably sounds so stupid, but all I can think is, "How fuckin' cool is it that I get to experience this man's incredible mind?" Over and over and over. You're amazing.

I have to admit, I haven’t done a deep dive into his work but from what I’ve read, I’ve enjoyed it. Could you recommend some of his works I should prioritize?

Ever so delightful and just word-drunken alive. It's such a beautiful piece that I'm not sure I even understand it yet but I know I love it.

I'm gonna pre-empt Jon T here and say chewy and chunky. He'll have to think of another one.
