I was supposed to take the day off today because over the past 3 days, I’ve: But I found this Feb 1 Vox article this morning and it sparked a need to write down some thoughts here. (More on that below. Also—thanks for coming to my blog!) Here’s my takeaway in case you don’t want to read the article yet: Artists are …
Reflections. Refractions.
Today is my final day as National President of Sisters in Crime. Don’t worry—this post isn’t going to be just a list of what I achieved.
