After reading this, I thought back to when I first discovered your writing on Twitter. A lot of people were yelling at you (what else is new) because you said Hermione Granger isn’t a real person and just because some people think she was autistic doesn’t mean we can’t think she’s annoying. I knew I’d enjoy following you. All these years later, it is still such an honor to read your work and get to know your perspective on the world. I hope one day people stop being absolutely insane to you online but until then, I want you to know how much I really, deeply appreciate your voice.
It was a very Western NY eclipse. No one was shocked it was cloudy, in fact, I think we would have been surprised if it had been nice. I stood in my parents' yard in the rain while my nieces ran around on the half hour my work was closed. I'm glad you came.
Our experiences of life are so different (I'm an Indian young person entering the corporate world etc haha) but I love how when I read your newsletter, it moves me nonetheless, even though I don't always get all the cultural/geographical references.
This one truly brought tears to my eyes, and I wish you all the best with your grieving process (or maybe this is just life, I don't know xD) and in life.

This was beautiful. Thank you for writing this. My husband is from Massachusetts and he also pronounces crayon as "cran".
Thank you! ♡ And "cran" is just endlessly endearing to me :')
i enjoy your writing a lot, thanks for sharing
