I wrote a little obituary for Zosia. If you think that ititss a bit much to write an obituary for a dog, you can fuck right off.

I voted for the very first time as an American today. Feels great. Don’t ever take this for granted. Also feel super privileged to be able to do it in a state that makes it easy and convenient to vote. 🇺🇸 #democracy
