About The Table Top

Hello hello, friend. You found my corner of the internet - The Table Top ✮✮✮

If you don’t know me yet: hi, welcome, I’m Rania :’) I move constantly in the realms of art & culture, and I thought: why not build a community space where each of us, creative individuals around the world, has a place to be seen, felt, and heard? A place to belong. A place where we use this platform to create a sustainable, peaceful, and income-supporting world for us all to enjoy, while fighting gatekeeping, classism, discrimination, racism, and poverty, etc.. Where we show, together, that art deserves to be funded equally, because our societies live and breathe through artisan craft and creativity.

So, it’s not really a newsletter in the traditional sense. It’s more like… me dragging a chair into your inbox, putting my lovely diary on the table, and saying: “So, here’s what’s been going on.”

Some days it’s behind-the-scenes of building cvn.pit, other days it’s half-philosophy, half-chaotic diary entry. Sometimes I overshare (expect confessions about watching too many (super funny!!) pet videos, late-night spirals & ideas I probably should’ve slept on). Other times I lay culture, art, and community flat on the table, trying to make sense of this weird, beautiful mess we’re all in.

If you stick around

• you’ll get regular posts for free,
• and if you subscribe as a paid member (a.k.a. join me at the actual head of the table), you’re not just supporting me, you’re literally co-creating (!) this thing. Every cent goes back into The Table Top & cvn.pit, fueling projects that ripple far beyond us.
• or simply drop something in the Tip Jar, if you'd like to support in your own way
  
  But please keep in mind, only ever pay for The Table Top if it doesn’t cause you any kind of financial hardship.
  

Because here's the bigger dream

This isn’t just about me writing to you. It’s about what we can build together! cvn.pit is rooted in community, and The Table Top is the place we gather before stepping out into the world. Together, we can spark projects that matter: from artist residencies born out of this universe, to connecting humans across cultures and continents for job opportunities, to community gardens, climate initiatives, and even our own event spaces worldwide.

I may nudge these ideas into motion, but the real actors, the real heartbeat, are you - the community.

Think of this as a comfort show in your inbox.

A little chaotic, a little heartfelt, sometimes smart, sometimes unhinged, but always honest!

So, grab a drink and sit down. We’ve got things to unpack.

XOXO, Rania
