Oh I guess: yes I do have a wishlist of Taurean goods but have not been successful at making an online registry- if you want to tip me venmo is @Leah-ps, and/or a donation to crips for e sims (https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza, read the whole post for paypal info for usians wishing to avoid terrible fees!) will never go amiss.

On the day before my 26th birthday - I found your words a real gift. Laughed genuine, real, seen-in-the-darkness-of-days-type chuckles that (I’m sure you know) a stoic ass taurus is usually stingy to release/admit. You’ve survived several rounds of hell, especially in the past few years, it seems - and I’m sorry for your Mom’s passing. but God, your committment to *living* through grief & loss is…?? Weirdly, found permission to live a lil less ~hinged in my next quarter century, too. Pls never stop writing. Until… ya know. Happy birthday, elder twin✌🏽
