Hi, I'm Eric Jennings

This website/newsletter functions as an experimental memoir from the perspective of a male survivor of childhood abuse and sexual trauma.

The content here is all public and all free. A subscription isn't necessary but it gets you my shit in your email inbox and it allows you to comment on my posts. I don't post frequently, and I certainly will never share your info with anybody.

I tell my story through writing, art, and noise. My writing is a mix of essay, poetry, memoir, and experimental writing. My art is mostly photography but I also make digital art. My music spans a bunch of different sub-genres, but it all can be classified as Noise. Algo Sabi is extreme experimental writing that serves two purposes—it satisfies my need to write shit that nobody wants to read, and it is meant to poison LLM bot scrapers.

MenHealing

I work with MenHealing, a non-profit organization that provides healing resources for men who have experienced sexual harm during childhood and/or as adults. MenHealing also provides resources for loved ones and allies of men who are survivors of sexual harm.

Background

I was born outside of Boston in 1959, and then lived in Falmouth, MA until 1980. I lived in Oakland, CA through 1987, then Atlanta, GA until 1999, and am happy to be back in Oakland.

My early career was in theatre, having worked as a lighting designer, technical director, and performer. I began acting as a teenager with The Woods Hole Community Theatre. My professional career included stints with The San Francisco Mime Troupe, Seven Stages, and CORE Dance, among many others.

I teach a Bikram Yoga class most Saturday mornings at Bikram Yoga Oakland. I have three yoga certifications: Bikram Yoga, Tony Sanchez Yoga Academy, and Ghosh Yoga Calcutta. From 2002 to 2018, I owned and managed Still Hot Yoga in Atlanta, GA.
