Uhhh…wow. They told me about this three weeks ago and I still don’t know what to say. It’s completely wild that people know I exist.

To be nominated for a Hugo is absolutely surreal and an incredible honor. Thanks to everyone who has read, shared, and encouraged me over the years!

Huge congrats Jay!!! So incredibly deserved. Hope to see you again this year! 🎉
