The cleveland collective

I gotta admit, when I started working on this page, I got really choked up.

Creating this inclusive, end-of-life planning space has been a dream of mine for a long time.

I'm doing it, Cass. 

It's showtime.

This page is for all of the ones we lost too soon --

the storytellers, the weirdos, the quiet ones, the bright ones,

the ones who never quite fit but made the rest of us feel seen.

We carry you in every lyric, every laugh, every act of remembering.

This is for you, my friends.

This is the scene where the chorus takes the stage.
Where the outcasts, misfits, black sheep, chosen family, and backstage crew come into the light. If you’ve ever felt too much, not enough, or simply different — you belong here. This isn’t just my project. It’s yours, too.

SCRIPTed was built by — and for — the artists, queers, geeks, survivors, weirdos, and wanderers who make life more honest and more interesting.

Who We Are

We are people who don’t always see ourselves in the systems we’re supposed to rely on — but we find each other in the in-between. We are the ones who know how to show up awkward, grieving, hilarious, still wearing clothes from the show last night, or dressed to the nines — and still belong.

Some of us are artists. Some of us are spaceholders. Some of us are just trying to make it through the day.

This space honors all of that.

How to Be Involved

You don’t have to know what you’re doing. You don’t need credentials. You just need to want a space like this to exist — and to help hold it with care.

You can:

This will grow into a directory of creative collaborators and community allies — people who want to support this work through art, presence, spaceholding, or skill-sharing. You don’t have to be “professional.” You just have to be kind.

This is our scene. Our script. Our ending — rewritten.
Thanks for showing up. We’re better with you here.
