Back at urgent care (second time this week!) cause of post-op bleeding from hysterectomy. Got to go in a CT scan for the first time. Big xray donut—neat!

Very sad I couldn’t be at Readercon this weekend *but* am consoled by the fact that Len and I got to visit the most delightful museum of Gilded Age fairgrounds in Paris & we got to ride the last Velocipede carousel in the world (human powered bike carousel) from 1897!!!

When my name was called for a Stoker Award I felt like my heart was going to burst. I wanted so badly to share the moment with Len but for anxieties on crossing the border as a trans couple, I travelled alone. The next best thing to being at the ceremony together was coming home to this surprise 🥹

I’m about to become unshutuppable about this, so before a vaudeville hooked cane drags me off stage, I wanted to say that I’m so proud of our anthology contributors. Huge congrats to us all and my fellow nominees. Honoured to have work on these lists and alongside Shirley Jackson’s name.

I first read The Haunting of Hill House when I was 27, a richly complex blessing of a book that moved me on a soul level so sincerely that I made a necklace (Her Cup of Stars) inspired by it. It’s a beautiful feeling to have things come full circle—I am now a Shirley Jackson Award nominee.
