New Writing & Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Leprechauns, a thing in the New York Times Magazine, goats

Hi, everyone. I do hope there is a sufficient amount of green in the image above, so that I am not personally ejected from the city of Chicago for being insufficiently festive. Look at Polly’s eyes! WE ARE IRISH EVERY DAY.

Behold, a goth-Valentine’s Day-St. Patrick’s Day mashup.

Those fresh flowers in front are actually from a kind congratulatory bouquet from my parents, who were thrilled that a story I’ve been working on with a great team for four months did, in fact, come out this weekend. It doesn’t seem quite real to me, except that it does. I’ve linked to it below in the roundup of stuff to read.

As per St. Patty’s Day…

I am short and impish, which makes leprechaun life relatable to me. However, I am at present not bearded, and my red hair is dyed. We are Irish Catholic (and English Protestant, and Scottish Jewish, THANK YOU) on my dad’s side. But culturally and in all other ways, I am very much a person from New Jersey and not Ireland.

However, everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, I hope you have a fun one.
