Just finished my 20th book of February—
Promising Young Women by @suzannescanlon.bsky.social from @dorothyproject.bsky.social
As someone who used to be a “career patient” at psych hospitals, this book put an ache in my chest. 5/5 stars for sure 💗

This is my new post about my cancer, my surgeon, my awe, my pain, and an offensive auto-text. Other things, too. Thank you for reading.
