Jonathan,

This is so lovely to wake to, and this is one of the most earnest posts I’ve read in a while. Candidly, I’m allergic to community because a lot of what I see here is petty, competitive and mean, so I tend to put on my blinders and do my work. But it’s always heartening to see good eggs in the mix.

I vaguely remember your first time here and some of the telenovela drama that unfolded, and I applaud you for how you navigated your way back. I’ll leave it that.

I thought of you the other day when, yet again, someone added me to their publication without my permission. 😂

Thank you for reading my work and sharing a list of almost all new-to-me folks to read. I will say Miyah and Tre are remarkable.

Happy Turkey Day!

F.
