It’s that time of year when everyone goes ‘Omg I gotta tell everyone all the things they can nominate me for’ and then sits around wondering if anyone actually will.

Am I reeling from this nomination? Yes. Yes I am. Massive thanks @sillygoosepress.bsky.social
A lot happened to bring me to this moment. I’m very grateful.
