Ah, thank you! I adored this poem. My partner was reading the issue and asked if he could read this poem out loud to me. I was so pleasantly surprised to see your name when I picked up the issue for myself a few days later!

Held in hand weighed is definitely more chaotic so I’m going to go with that

I would like to not download an app just to access something (although as I type this I am enjoying the Libby app)

Assembled and onto the dreaded sewing in ends. No one tells you that part takes as long as the crochet

I had to really think about what books I finished reading this year so maybe this is my drive to track my reads for 2025?
I read way more prose, and way more SFF than I have in recent years. I also juried for a couple of awards so the first half of 2024 reads is a blur of those books.

I love that! The story has inspired me to use my own name the next time

Ah thank you! All your stories made me emotional, but I adored the baking show story (I'm a huge baking show fan), and the one where the narrator uses her white husband's name - I read that one the day after giving my white partner's name for a bar tab, so it hit especially hard.

I do think this is partially my fault as you get defaulted to my age by our association
