“Hot girl summer” is cancelled. This year we’re doing *hag* girl summer. We’re holidaying in a swamp; we are hiding in the woods inside a hut with chicken legs; we will have no “beach body” but rather a *bog body* covered in moss and mushrooms.

a delightful birthday present for me: PLURALITIES is a nominee for the Aurora Awards!!! 🤩

this year's ballot is STRONG, and I'm feeling blessed to see my work among such shining stars! 🌟 congrats to all the nominees, and THANK YOU to those who nom'd!!
