I am incredibly grateful to @aaronlelito.bsky.social and @wildroofjournal.bsky.social for including my essay “Fear Is a Rabbit” in their summer issue. I’m so proud of this piece, which explores the way we (humans) dispense hurt & what we mean by it.

I don’t really know how jumping spider lineage works but every spring I get a coworker in my home office. I like to imagine it’s the same family living here for generations - at least 5 years at this point. #spiders #jumpingspiders

Don’t give up the ship.
