ALT An email from me to Erik which says "Erik, I told you not to contact me again last April. I specifically said: "I'm going to be real with you: I will not be sharing this with anyone because I think it's irresponsible to be doing this during the pandemic and because your tagline for the event is ableist. It doesn't fit within my values. I don't know where you got my name and email from or why you would reach out with a cold-email when we are not in meaningful community with each other (or community at all) and ask me to meet with you (during a pandemic), advertise your event (with an ableist tagline), and/or be invested in its success. I would ask that you stop emailing me asking for things, however, as our values do not align. Do not ask me for anything. Do not send this ableist event to me. Do not contact me again."

Three times charmes and hopefully you will not talk shit next time. Have a karma day. Erik van Loon, L.A. Poetry Beach Festival."
