Raising a congratulatory glass to you and spitting on the bitterness. Bitterness is overrated anyway.

Ageism is a thing, and I'm sad to see reports of it in the lesbian/bi writing world. I've been resigned to dealing with it combined with sexism in cis-het writing world, but had hopes it was different away from white cis-het writing world. Deep sad sigh. But hey! Yay that you're on a recommended list. Congrats!
