That ending! And that AMAZING photo. Loved seeing a revived #RealTalk moment, and lol reinventing gynecology (except also not funny to think about a dearth of it). I love that you shared this. YES to all the antler photos. I have one I’m obsessed with across all years of my life, once a month I think, “no character will ever match the guy in that photo…” 🏆 🦌🏆
I have re-read this story so many times over so many years and I love something different about it every time. Right now what I love is how it's as joyful as it is dystopian. I find myself trying so hard to escape from my dystopian brain (I have read way more dystopian fiction than is mentally constructive at this particular moment in world history), and when I re-read this, I had this feeling of—well, maybe dystopia doesn't have to be the worst thing? (Though I guess that is literally the definition.) At least I'll finally have time to do my hair.
Alex! Love you. Also, yes. Now it's interesting to me to reread this and see that maybe in some ways I was rehearsing for disaster, and brainstorming ways in which it might still be possible to thrive...?!
