Gawd I farkin love rabble rousing. Still on an absolute high from last night ❤️
Workshops at @writershq.bsky.social are always a great time, but tonight's was the most passionate and affirming I've ever been to. Kudos to Sarah -- she was on fire tonight. No better gang to be in the apocalpyse with.
