So I mentioned in my last post that this New York trip was life-changing, but was far too ill at the time to really delve into what that meant. I wanted to note that I’d had a great time, and that I felt differently about myself because of it, but I was dying (and am Read more

Wow, what an amazing, life-changing experience. The workshop I was attending that paid for me to go was incredible; it was really interesting, and the other mods were fantastic, I had such a great time meeting them all and getting to know them and their little corners of the internet.
