exactly, I'll take it and it takes away the constant worry I had of being forcibly divorced/stripped of rights for our 10th wedding anniversary

plus I remember how it was to live in KS before Obergefell. It was hell

I was so anxious 😟 it is a relief!

Happy upcoming anniversary!!

unwilling to stop: just sent something very special (not mine, but I am allowed to send it) to SH. Let's see what happens 😍

This is a beautiful night

I am so happy!!

THANK YOU!!!! did you get my card btw?

Sorry I've been awol, this semester has been murder. Hope all is well in the Le Guin world, and that the exhibition is a success!

They asked me very nicely for a speech in case they get to read it, read my speech for me and emailed me about it after I won. I was not at the con. I think the email probably hinted that I won but I am autistic

all the love

Thank you!!

Anyway, YOKE OF STARS is a book about exile and translation and fish communism and a language with no verbs, so I guess that parts of speech have now been really and truly cancelled.

thank you so much!!! I am still in shock
