I’m not sanctimonious about failure — it hurts, it’s embarrassing. But it’s also the only reliable tool we have to demarcate the parameters of our capacities, to test our strengths and learn what we can really do. A target you hit every time is a target set too close.

this is actually so so cute and lovely and funny and I love it
the first one was okay but I like this one a LOT. it’s a story about Dessa making herself fall out of love with science and it totally effectively stands alone and you could just casually watch it (or listen to it) on its own. it’s dynamic and vulnerable and silly and I’m into it and I love stories and people doing weird stuff and also it has a 14yo kid saying “I’m going to start falling in love soon and I don’t have a motorcyclist brain lady – what do I do?”
“she deserves a better line of work than motherfucking vigilance”
can we please talk abt Dessa’s new tune, you guys
it’s not much, but my money’s on you
i'm still living by my maiden name
the name i came with, the name i made.→ dessa | dessa december | 15/15
two tall glasses of sweet iced tea underneath the sweetgum tree
and the love we once nurtured, you and me, disintegrating violently
I read this to my brother & he said “we should do this to mom”
I knew better when we met
and then I knew you instead
I never even wonder “whether”
no, with us it was always “when”
