Paradoxa: Update 4

[christina rikkers]

"I realized I ironically hold myself to a sort of machine-like standard, both in my workflow and in the end result. I was frustrated by the interruptions of living life as an embodied person and all that that entails: taking care of the body, working to pay bills, maintaining social connectedness."

if this isn't the most relatable thing.

honored to have been published by you, a real human person, and not a robot. this anthology is so beautiful and i'm so excited about it. ♥
