got the new @otherppl.bsky.social pick & immediately remembered the nightmares i had from the 2015 NYer article abt the cascadia fault line, but then tore through the book in a day anyway. and it also wrecked me. it was so brilliant and so gutting and so alive and so terrifying and so beautiful. 💔

this place, guys. it’s beautiful, it’s quiet, it has tons of space, it’s an easy drive from dc, and i accomplished more here in 5 days than i’ve gotten done in the last year. #areasontowrite @ellenweeren.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️
