SEPTA didn't let me down, and I made it to Brooklyn for the Fruit Bats solo show, which was so so so special & important. 💗

Shameless self-promo: I was interviewed for an editing organization a few months ago and picked OMT as the project I'm most proud of. (Sorry for saying you have writing quirks, Bryn. 😉)

A year ago today, I was in DC to see my faves Aoife O'Donovan and Bonny Light Horseman with the NSO, haunted by the knowledge that it could be my last time there before the vibes got real bad 💀
