Happy Wednesday, y’all!
Also, happy Pride! As a bi/pan woman, giving support and hugs (if you want them) to all my fellow queer folk this month especially. It’s been a rough 2022 for LGBTQ+ people and I hope this Pride can be as restorative and healing as it can be celebratory. Please know that you are valued, loved, and treasured.

If you’re in New England, I’m hosting a free romance madlibs event Thursday, June 9th at 7pm! There are also a couple other romance happening that night, I believe. I’m super nervous about it, mainly because I feel so out of practice for in-person events.
