nullstep is evolving
nullstep isn’t just an instagram account for crapping on my abuser who assaulted me and is trying to kill me. Yeah, we’ll touch on that later though.
In “The Mantle” I say nullstep needs to be more things. Wanna know what’s frustrating? I think temporally, so I know what nullstep becomes, along a scale of time. So for me, nullstep is already that But I have to exist long enough to make it that. And none of this comes from a place of want. While there’s a joy that comes from making this, I wanted to just be enjoying life and hanging with my cat. Then that was ripped away by cruelty.
And then a phone rang. What else can you do when standing in the ruins of the life you worked to build? Of course you pick up. I guess that why they named it a calling.
I try to keep the the tone more fun through something very dark that occurred to me. You learn very early that your friends and associates can only read through so much heavy documentation while gleaning all the key level points, and absorbing the smaller details.
So, to solve that you make the narrative more entertaining! Like showcasing Madonna’s 1980’s hit Borderline to highlight the absurdity of someone criminalizing me from a claim of BPD made up on Facebook.
Culture and narrative are intertwined in a fascinating way. It helps to be able to make people laugh. A story is powerful if causes one to cry.
