June started off with Piglet somehow hurting her foot and needing surgery. She got through it okay and it healed up quickly, but as usual, the insurance managed to weasel out of paying a decent amount of the bill. Still, the main thing is she’s all well now.

The short story anthology Not So Stories is available to preorder. Written by PoC as rebuttals to the original colonialist nostalgia, there are a wide variety of tales.
