You know when your friend is like "I need a new hairdresser" & you go "OMG you have to go to my gal!" It's like that with book recs. If someone's on the lookout for a read like one you adored, sharing the love helps them, + the author, + you have someone new to gush about this awesome story with. 😃

I'm so anti-AI that I used a sticky note and markers to illustrate the fact that you'll only find human-made content from me, a human person.

Sending hugs if you've been involved with the GCLS Writing Academy and are hurting. ❤️

Text that reads: I support the authors, instructors and faculty of the GCLS Writing Academy and members of GCLS leadership who tirelessly advocated for the WA. I'm so sorry you are hurting and were caught off guard by the sudden "strategic pause" of the WA.
I have emailed the Executive Committee and Director of
Education to let them know the WA means a lot to the sapphic writing community. If you're looking to support this valuable program and let your concerns for greater transparency be heard, please do the same.
Thank you.
