some absolute gems in here, some pieces written for people other than me, or perhaps miras in the other times. but the ones that struck me struck me deeeeep & i am unbelievably inspired and shifted in an inexplicable way. it’s long overdue, but i’m adding a picture of ursula to my altar when i get home.
