So happy to have my @slate.com piece picked up by @longreads.com!
"One day, perhaps, she might create a crab that’s incredibly well suited to domestication—the golden retriever of hermit crabs, if you will. But are they meant to live in our homes at all?"

It’s the Most Misunderstood Pet in America. If Only You Knew Where It Came From—and What It’s Capable Of.
We owe the hermit crab so much more.

A long and lovely essay by one of my favorite writers (you may know her from Mcmansion Hell) about life after a concussion/TBI.

I’ve never had the luxury of two whole weeks to dedicate to novel revisions. Grateful to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts - and to every writer, artist and composer I’ve met here ❤️
