@meganbrennan.bsky.social @careydraws.bsky.social I'm listening to MorphClub again, and it's wonderful. It was one of the first pods I ever listened to, and it's still one of the best!

View from a porch of a charming street that consists of two wide sidewalks and a grassy boulevard, with no pavement for cars. The houses across the street are historic brick, with small colorful, detailed porches.

last night's event was a co-production with susanne's book release as well.
