we are weirdos
For as long as I can remember, weirdo has been a word associated with me. “You’re so fucking weird.” “What a weirdo”. I love this word. It feels like home for my head in the clouds perspectives, made-up voices & mixtures of accents, the warped and contorted shapes that my face can and wants to make, the cryptic way that I write and communicate, the nicknames that I carry for almost everyone, the most intimate space of my creative soul, and the layers of interest I have in experiencing the weirdo self of everyone I encounter.
So, there wasn’t a pause when we were throwing out names for this site, who we wanted to draw in, connect to. She said, Weirdos? Because that’s who we are, and everyone is. Yes! Weirdos.
Weird…Suggesting something supernatural; uncanny. Of strange or extraordinary character: odd, fantastic. A person’s destiny.
