Just finished my first of three panels for @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social. @katemaru.bsky.social did a wonderful job moderating myself @bydhiyanah.bsky.social and @feliciafm.bsky.social. Always a hurdle to herd artists in a direction :P

Such a lovely interview!

Caitlin Eliza (C.E.) McKenna @ce-mckenna.bsky.social · Aug 26

Can’t wait to share the full interview soon!
