Thank you so much @mattkendrick.bsky.social for sharing and @sagreene1.bsky.social for selecting this story of mine—I'm so moved and delighted that it stayed with you 💖.

I love this so much, Rob, it’s so beautiful, and somehow perfect for today; a kestrel landed on my building in NYC earlier, and my mom (who lost the most magical cat this spring) got a visit from a tortie-tabby on her porch this morning. I feel like you’ve gorgeously captured what that all means 💖

Yes, yes, please more of this. It's a silly rule borrowed from Latin grammar—I feel like we should let English be its own strange multifarious beast!

Oh wow, what stunning stories 💖! Looking forward to reading more in the replies. I’ve only written one imperative piece, but it’s a dear one to me—it’s in Nurture Literary:

Same, except now that I live on the fifteenth floor, I try to think of it as a kind of analogue transporter pad.
