I just subscribed and thank you for the discount! A HUGE THANKS FOR standing up to the Orange Orangutan! Thank you from all of us women that have been sexually assaulted and were never able to get our own justice.

Here's to you, darling E. Jean!

My birthday wishes for you are as follows:

May you have peace which supasses understanding.

May you continue to engage with the world despite all that would make you retreat.

May you find new projects and new friends that keep you feeling connected to multiple sources of anticipated bliss.

May you always remember that every minute you are smiling, laughing, writing, and stretching in the sunlight is a revenge against all the haters.

May you impart the wisdom your misadventures have taught you over years filled with derring-do and derring-don't.

May you find inspiration for many new projects and an audience for them.

Save me a seat next to yours. I'm coming over with my cocktail maison -- the Flannery -- designed for uppity women writers -- and a game I learned when I was at the Yaddo art colony (where the actual Flannery once spent a time writing first drafts) that requires discernment, a large stack of books or a library of them, and just enough alcohol in one's system not to let the pages blur.

Wishing you fun despite all and hope despite all.
