Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Cynthia Gómez, a woman with fair skin and clear light-brown eyes. Her long, curly hair, which dark and threaded with silver, is parted on the side. She wears a purple tank, long earrings, and minimal eye makeup. She stands in front of a plastered wall and looks directly into the camera with a faint smile.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Ai Jiang, a woman with fair skin and dark eyes. A breeze stirs her long, glossy hair, which is dark with a dyed light-blue streak and parted on the side. She wears a windbreaker that might be dark green and stands in full sunlight, with water behind her and a few trees in the distance. She looks to the side and slightly down, grinning at what she sees.

Black-and-white photo of Kemi Ashing-Giwa, a Black woman with a natural worn short on the sides and tall on the top. She wears a fine-gauge crew-neck sweater in a light tone and lip gloss. They sit on a chair or sofa with an upholstered back, in front of a light source (a curved window with panes, or perhaps a translucent tent?). She is turned with her face in three-quarters view as she looks attentively toward something or someone off-camera. Their eyes are focused, creased at the corners as part of their warm, broad smile.

Color photo of Meg Elison, a fat and fair-skinned woman with brown eyes and short, curly black hair. She wears a red-and-white colorblock dress, a silver key on a chain around her neck, and red lipstick. She stands before a neutral backdrop and smiles knowingly, looking directly into the camera.

Pampas Grass — Part 2 of 2

Good morning. The druid (Eddeli, elf, xe/xer) stopped by this morning to ask if we enjoyed our "wild good chase" yesterday and that was the moment I got the joke.

Good morning. I need coffee.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Somto Ihezue, a man with freckled, light brown skin, curly red-brown hair, and a short, curly auburn beard with no mustache. He stands in front of an old brick building that looks like a college building of some sort. It’s a sunny day, and he looks down slightly as he faces the camera and smiles warmly.
