Another talented friend sharing her words in one of the best places around!
02.09.2025 19:52 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0My insanely talented friend @christyhartman.bsky.social has won this contest two years running. Even more amazingly, she has come first in EVERY SINGLE ROUND both years.
Good news for the rest of us: she's not allowed to compete for two years in order to give the rest of us a fighting chance!
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Matt and his courses. @averyother.bsky.social tagging you because of your weird and wonderful brain!

You can read my story "I, Shinigami" from tomorrow in Sky Island Journal! (If you happen to be reading this tomorrow, then you can read it today. And if you're reading this the day after tomorrow then you could have already read it yesterday. What took you so long?)
